Cheese Souffle (A Family Favorite for 30 years)

(This Frozen Cheese Souffle is perfect for Easter brunch. I have made it every year for over 30 years, though for Yom Kippur break the fast!  It is marvelously simple and simply divine. I’m reposting this with my original pictures and even though I know photos speak louder than words, you will have to trust me, that in this case, this souffle not only looks better in person, it also tastes outstanding! (It is one of my most requested recipes.)

I know. Whoever heard of a frozen cheese soufflé? Trust me, you’ll be glad I turned you on. I discovered this recipe in college in a food processor cookbook. The same one I discovered the frozen cranberries in. The book has fallen apart or I would give you the title because this book  was worth every penny. It is kind of crazy that I have been making these recipes for over thirty years  and they are still as scrumptious as when I made them way back when.

Our haverah makes this every year for break the fast on Yom Kippur. Though I love blintz casseroles, this kind of ups the ante so to speak.This is comfort food for me and I decided it would be good to freeze one for Thanksgiving weekend. I wasn’t sure if or when I would use it, but I knew eventually it would find a home. Well, it didn’t take long. Sunday morning before everyone left me, I put it in the oven. My kids even got out of bed to eat it. Or should I say scarfed it? Unfortunately not many leftovers for me.
