How to make macaroni souffle
- Cook the macaroni in plenty of boiling salted water according to the instructions on the packet.
- Drain well and set aside. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Brush a 5 cup souffle dish with melted butter, then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs, shaking out any excess from the pan.
- Put the butter, paprika, flour and milk into a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth and thick.
- Simmer the sauce for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the cheeses until melted.
- Season well and mix with the cooked macaroni.
- Beat in the egg yolks.
- Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks and spoon a quarter into the sauce mixture to lighten it slightly.
- Using a large metal spoon, carefully fold in the rest of the egg whites and transfer to the prepared souffle dish.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for about 40 to 45 minutes until the souffle is risen and golden brown.
- The middle should wobble very slightly and the souffle should be lightly creamy inside.
- This is generally a great favourite with children and is rather like a light and fluffy macaroni cheese. Make sure you serve the souffle immediately after it is cooked or it will sink dramatically.
