Choose your favorite veggie, or use no vegetables, and give this easy souffle recipe a try!

I have finally mastered the souffle thanks to my friend Chef Watson. He is slowly improving how he puts recipe ingredients together. (I tried one of his souffle recipes with apples a little while ago and it was a total flop.) His last software update seems to have helped quite a bit.

These gluten free cheesy broccoli souffles are so light and fluffy, and so pretty when they come out of the oven.

Souffles are not only fun to make, but surprisingly, my kids LOVED them. Maybe it is all of the cheese, but they didn’t turn their noses up at the though of broccoli. These make a beautiful side dish, yet they are light enough that they are not filling….leaving a lot more room for the main course! Souffles would be perfect for Thanksgiving or any dinner party. (*You can even try these Gluten Free Pumpkin Butter Souffles for a fun dessert idea.)

I won’t lie, there are a lot of steps to making the perfect souffle.

The first thing you are probably wondering is if you can make a souffle with gluten free flour. YES! You absolutely can make souffles with gluten free flour!

The base starts with a gluten free roux, then builds from there to the final meringue steps. But don’t worry, I took photos of every step to help guide you through the process.

Is it worth it? For me, yes. This recipe made 8 souffles. Everyone, including my kids ate them up. My daughter is studying French and she asked me to call these by their real name, Souffle Fromage. (It is really just a fancy way to say souffle cheese.)

How to make a gluten free souffle:

The first step was to melt the butter and minced garlic.

I can’t say enough about Authentic Foods Gluten Free Flours. They are ground to be super fine and they really have added so much to my gluten free cooking. I used this rice flour to make my roux.

This is the start to the gluten free roux.

I used my very favorite Pampered Chef chopper to chop up the broccoli in tiny pieces.

The base with the broccoli and milk added.

I love these mild green chilies. I added these for more flavor. (*The chiles are completely optional!)

Slowly whisk in the egg yolks. (Save the whites in a large bowl for later.)

Whisk in the cream cheese.

Gently add the base in four equal parts to the meringue.

Put into greased ramekin dishes to bake.

They won’t all come out pretty :-). Some look more like flowers.

Now, it is time to make your own!
