🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

1

Prepare a nine-cup souffle mold with a paper collar tied with twine and butter it generously.

2

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup and 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 3 and 1/3 cups of half and half over medium heat to make a bechamel, whisking until thick and smooth.

3

Transfer the bechamel to a large glass bowl and dot the top with 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and cool.

4

Once cooled, stir in 6 large egg yolks until fully incorporated.

5

Add 1 and 1/2 ounces of Pleasant Ridge cheese, 5 and 1/2 ounces of Muenster cheese, 3 and 1/2 ounces of Comté cheese, 1 and 1/2 ounces of Epenzeller cheese, and 2 ounces of sharp Emmental cheese, cutting them into quarter-inch cubes and stirring them into the mixture.

6

Preheat the convection oven to 375°F.

7

Beat 11 egg whites with 1/4 cup of egg white powder until creamy and not too stiff.

8

Fold a portion of the egg whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites.

9

Pour the mixture into the prepared souffle mold, filling it nearly to the top.

10

Bake in the preheated convection oven for 45 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
