Crab & Cheese Soufflés Recipe

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a lower-calorie, dairy-free option.

crab meat

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides protein.

cheddar cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Processed cheese is cheaper and melts well.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Butter individual ramekins generously.

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and whisk in flour and cornstarch until smooth.

Gradually add milk and sour cream or heavy cream, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens.

Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted and smooth.

Add crab meat, egg yolks, and salt; mix well.

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold egg whites into the crab mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Spoon the mixture into prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

Place ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until soufflés are puffed and golden brown on top.
