  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar, or as needed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • Cook Time: 12 mins
  • Total Time: 32 mins
  • Servings: 2
  • Yield: 2 5 1/2-ounce souffles

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Brush butter on the bottom and up the sides of two 5 1/2-ounce ramekins. Scoop in some sugar; rotate ramekins to coat while pouring most of the sugar back into its container. Place ramekins on a shallow baking pan.
  • Separate eggs between 2 bowls. Add sugar, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, cream cheese, and Cheddar cheese to the yolks. Mix the souffle base with a spatula until sugar and flour disappear.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the room-temperature egg whites. Beat with a whisk until soft peaks form; peaks should hold their shape but not be stiff or dry. Stir and fold 1/2 of the egg whites into the souffle base until combined. Gently fold the rest of the egg whites into the batter.
  • Fill ramekins up to the lip with the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and browned, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
