Blue Cheese Souffle

Sounds rich, flavorful, and DELISH to me:
(8 servings)

5 egg whites
6 T. freshly* grated Parmesan cheese, divided
3 T. all-purpose flour
1/2 t. sea* salt
1/4 freshly ground pepper*
Dash ground nutmeg
Dash cayenne pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped garlic chives*
1 cup 2%* milk
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
4 egg yolks
1/8 t. cream of tartar
EVOO* cooking spray

Let egg whites stand at room temp. for 30 mins. Coat a 2 qt. souffle dish with cooking spray, and lightly sprinkle with Parmesan; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine flour and spices. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 1 min. longer, or until thickened. Reduce heat. Stir in blue cheese, chives, and remaining Parmesan. Remove from the heat; transfer to a large bowl. Stir in a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to the bowl, stirring constantly. Allow to cool slightly. In another large bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. With a spatula, stir a fourth of the egg whites into cheese mixture until no white streaks remain. Fold in remaining egg whites until combined. Transfer to prepared dish. Bake at 350 for 23-30 mins. or until the top is puffed and center appears set. Serve immediately with med. rare Prime Rib with MM's Horseradish Sauce, and garlic roasted broccoli spears. Pour yourself a glass of Merlot, and Bon Appetit!!
