A soufflé is a classic French dish that can be sweet or savory, and it’s beloved for its towering heights. The name comes from the French word souffler, which means “to breathe” or “to puff,” and that is exactly what the egg whites do to the batter thanks to the oven’s heat. The only downfall to these fluffy favorites is that they fall within a few minutes and lose their puffed-up appearance. But don’t worry, they’re still every bit as delicious once they deflate and your guests will be every bit as impressed.
