1/4 c. all-purpose flour
dash cayenne
1 c. milk
8 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, grated or thinly sliced

Description
Melt butter; blend in flour and cayenne. Add milk all at once, cook over medium heat, stirring until mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat. Add cheese, stir until cheese melts.
Beat egg yolks until very thick and lemon-colored. Slowly add cheese mixture, stirring constantly; cool slightly.
Beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Gradually pour yolk mixture over; fold together well. Pour into ungreased 1 1/2-quart souffle dish or casserole. For a top hat that puffs in the oven, trace a circle though mixture 1 inch from edge and 1 inch deep.
