instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and prepare a soufflé dish by greasing it with butter.

    2

    In a pot, boil water and steam the broccoli for about 5 minutes until tender. Drain and chop the broccoli finely.

    3

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour and stir for about 2 minutes to create a roux.

    4

    Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until the mixture thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese until melted.

    5

    In a bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add the yolks to the cheese mixture along with the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well.

    6

    In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

    7

    Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the fluffiness.

    8

    Fold in the chopped broccoli until evenly distributed.

    9

    Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until puffed and golden.

    Serve immediately for the best texture!
