Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F); generously butter the ramekins and lightly dust with almond flour to help the soufflé rise.

  3. In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the cream, almond flour, and grated cheese; season to taste.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it, then fold in the rest carefully to maintain volume.
  5. Fill the ramekins to 3/4 full, smooth the surface, and bake immediately for 15–18 minutes until the soufflés are puffed and golden; serve without delay.
Variants
