Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 6-cup soufflé dish with extra butter.

In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, without letting it brown.

Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Season with salt, white pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Remove from heat.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add the yolks to the saucepan one at a time, stirring quickly to incorporate each before adding the next.

Stir in the grated cheese until melted and well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- 6
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared soufflé dish. Smooth the top and run your thumb around the inside edge of the dish to help the soufflé rise evenly.
