• 1 cup heavy cream
• ¾ cup grated Parmesan
• ¼ tsp nutmeg

How to Make

1. Caramelize the Shallots

1️⃣ Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
2️⃣ Add shallots, salt, and thyme/sage.
3️⃣ Cook 10–12 minutes until soft, golden, and sweet.
4️⃣ Set aside to cool slightly.

2. Make the Soufflé Base

1️⃣ In a saucepan, melt butter.
2️⃣ Add almond flour and whisk for 1 minute to form a roux.
3️⃣ Slowly pour in heavy cream; whisk until thickened.
4️⃣ Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan, nutmeg, salt & pepper.
5️⃣ Add the caramelized shallots.
6️⃣ Let cool 3–4 minutes, then whisk in the egg yolks.

3. Prepare the Egg Whites

1️⃣ In a clean bowl, beat egg whites + cream of tartar to soft peaks.
2️⃣ Fold gently into the warm soufflé base, keeping it airy.

4. Bake

1️⃣ Preheat oven to 375°F.
2️⃣ Grease 6 ramekins with butter.
3️⃣ Fill each cup ¾ full.
4️⃣ Bake 14–16 minutes, until puffed, golden, and slightly wobbly in the center.
