      Hmmmm. I have to play with decreasing the amount for two reasons– I don’t own a souffle dish and I don’t plan on buying one. I have a smaller dish, that will work. I like Blue Cheese, but I can’t seem to bond with this recipe. I’ll have to think of a different cheese. I’m ready to try making my first souffle. I’m not too scared! Well, maybe a little…

      I had to buy a larger dish to make this, but I think it’s about time that I conquer my fear of making my very own souffle. I do love blue cheese, as a matter of fact, I haven’t met cheeses that I don’t love ;-)

      Ugh, blue cheese. I may try another cheese in it’s place. I’m thinking gruyere, but does anyone have a suggestion?

      I’m with you Candace – not liking the blue cheese. I think gruyere would be good.

      I think gruyere would be great too or even goat cheese.

      If wasn’t so burned out on chocolate cake…I’d be tempted to skip the cheese and use chocolate!
      Seriously, I think Gruyere is where I’m headed with this.
      I’m going to use small ramekins to make smaller portions.

      Not a fan of blue cheese, I might use a sharp cheddar, or as others have suggested, gruyere.

      Do you need to make it in a souffle dish? Just curious. I’m looking forward to it.

        I’m not a fan of “regular” blue cheese but I love me some Gorgonzola so I think I’m going with that for this souffle. This is also my first souffle so I’m really excited!

        Leigh, I think you should be able to use any kind of straight-sided, deep, ceramic (or maybe glass?) dish. If you’ve got small ramekins, those would work…or maybe you could test it out in a muffin tin?

      I’m okay with the blue cheese, but I’m going to have to cut the recipe to make this into two smaller souffles, since all I have are two small ramekins. Any suggestions on changing the cooking time? I’m afraid I’ll be tempted to peek and ruin the whole thing!

      I made this with gruyere and 1% milk (all I had) and it was fabulous. Amazing. Fantastic.

      I reduced the recipe and made it in a 4 cup souffle dish… turned out well.

      I liked the blue cheese flavor (I’ve always been a blue cheese fan) but I just don’t think I’m a savory souffle kind of girl. It was good to me but not a wow, gotta make it again sort of thing.

      I’m still rather giddy over having successfully made a souffle though…first time.
