Pimento Cheese Soufflé

• 4 tablespoons butter (with 1 reserved for buttering ramekins)
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan, grated
• 1 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 egg yolks
• 5 egg whites
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, finely grated
• 4 ounces diced pimentos, drained

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0 F.
2. Grease two 5-inch ramekins or one 8-inch souffle dish with butter.
3. Sprinkle Parmesan evenly over the butter and roll the dish around until the sides and bottoms are covered. Freeze the ramekins until you're ready to fill them.
4. Heat milk on the stovetop over medium-low heat. It needs to be hot when you add it to the butter-flour mixture.
5. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once butter begins to bubble, add flour gradually, stirring constantly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
6. Whisk in the hot milk, and whisk until everything is incorporated. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt. Cook, whisking occasionally, for 2 minutes or so. Once the mixture begins to boil, remove the saucepan from the heat.
7. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks and slowly pour them into the sauce, whisking constantly. Set aside.
8. Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed until they begin to foam. Add cream of tartar and increase the speed to medium-high. Whisk until egg whites are firm and glossy (soft peaks).
9. Stir in 1/4 of the egg whites in the egg yolk mixture to lighten up the sauce a bit. Otherwise, it will be a little too heavy to work with.
10. Once lightened up, pour the contents of the saucepan into the mixing bowl with the remainder of the egg whites. Then, add the cheddar cheese and drained pimentos to the mixture. Gently fold contents of the bowl until ingredients are well incorporated.
11. Take the ramekins out of the freezer and pour the mixture evenly into the dishes.
12. Fold a piece of aluminum foil in half and wrap around the dish(es) to make a "wall" that rises higher than the souffle dish. This will prevent the souffle from bubbling over and will encourage it to rise. Secure the foil with a paper clip or pin -- whatever you have handy.
13. For smaller dishes, bake for 25 minutes. For a larger dish, bake for 35, or until the top is golden. Serve immediately.
