- Reduce the heat and keep stirring with a wooden spoon until thick
- Once slightly cooled, mix in the egg yolks and Gorgonzola, a little at a time
- In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites in a large clean bowl until stiff
- Fold into the mixture being careful to keep the air in the mixture (don’t mix too much)
- Place the mixture into the Soufflé dishes and sprinkle with any remaining Gorgonzola
- Bake in the centre of the oven for approx 30 minutes, until they’re well risen and have the perfect wobble

“Grease 2 soufflé dishes” – what size?
Hi Kelvin, we think that 128mm is about right for the 2 servings in the recipe, but 80mm would work for 4 portions.
