Soufflé from Alexander's friend

So, make a béchamel sauce with 60 gr. of flour, 60 gr. of butter, and 400 ml of milk. When it's done fold in 4 egg yolks, one at a time (I wait for the béchamel to be a bit cooler) and then 150 gr. of grated cheese (parmigiano, or gruyere, or condé or emmenthal, or a mixture of these). Finally incorporate 5 egg whites beaten till they are white solid snow. I make individual ones but you can make a big one (good in lunch boxes and you can freeze them). Put in the mold(s) with butter around so they won't stick and cook at 375 degrees for around a half hour, without opening the oven.
