No, same ingredients but very modified-only 1 1/2 tbs butter and flour and 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup milk, 8 oz. goat cheese and 5 eggs . Sadly tech-dyslexic so I don't know how to forward my recipes!
There’s a good deal missing from this recipe (and I haven’t even made it yet). The soufflé dish should be 1.5 quarts. Additionally, while it may be obvious, don’t forget to remove the bay leaf and herb bouquet before mixing in the egg whites.
