Observations

What makes a soufflé rise properly?

A soufflé rises due to the air incorporated into the egg whites when they are whipped to stiff peaks, which creates a light and airy texture.

Can I substitute smoked salmon with another ingredient?

Yes, you can substitute smoked salmon with cooked shrimp, crab, or even sautéed mushrooms for a different flavor profile.

How do I prevent my soufflé from collapsing?

To prevent collapsing, avoid opening the oven door during baking and let the soufflé rest in the oven with the door ajar for a few minutes after baking.

What is the best way to serve a soufflé?

Soufflés are best served immediately after baking while they are still puffed and airy, often accompanied by a light salad or a drizzle of sauce.

Can I make the soufflé mixture ahead of time?

It's best to prepare the soufflé mixture just before baking, as the whipped egg whites can lose their volume over time, affecting the soufflé's rise.
