National Cheese Soufflé Day is observed worldwide on May 18 each year. This day celebrates the cheese soufflé, a popular variation of the savory soufflé, which is a baked egg dish that can be sweet or savory. To prepare a cheese soufflé, one combines shredded cheese, flour, and milk, heats the mixture until the cheese melts, and then incorporates beaten egg whites before baking. It is recommended to serve the soufflé hot, ideally timed to be ready when the first course is served, as it does not hold well once baked. Accompaniments such as steamed asparagus, bitter greens, or roasted cauliflower are suggested to enhance the meal. This culinary celebration highlights the ease of making a cheese soufflé and the joy of enjoying it as part of a meal.
