How to make keto souffles
A traditional souffle is made with white flour, milk, and eggs. This low carb version gluten-free, way lower in carbs, and more satisfying because of all the healthy fats. The key to a good keto souffle recipe, just like any good souffle recipe, is whisking, beating, and then beating some more. The more air you can get into the “batter,” the lighter and fluffier your souffles will be. Enjoy these gluten free soufflés right out of the oven, because even the perfect souffle will deflate once it cools. Don’t worry, they’ll still taste just as great.

Cheese and Chive Keto Souffles
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons blanched almond flour, extra for ramekins (I use this brand)
- pinch of sea salt
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 4 large eggs, separated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 380°F.. Lightly grease four 8-ounce ramekins and sprinkle the insides with almond flour.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the almond flour and sea salt and cook for 2 minutes, whisking as you cook.
- Add the heavy cream and whisk while heating, until barely simmering, but not boiling. Cook for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Mix in the cheese and chives and then remove from the heat.
- Beat in the egg yolks.
- Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites on high until they are light and airy and soft peaks have formed.
- Slowly fold the cheese mixture into the egg whites, being very careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the 4 ramekins and bake for 20 minutes.
- Serve immediately as the soufflés with deflate within minutes.
