Melt the butter in a saucepan. Then, add the flour all at once, and stir with a whisk.
Gradually add the milk, stirring well, until you have a smooth sauce. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper, and add a little of the four-spice blend.
Add 2 egg yolks and mix well.
Cut the block of foie gras into coarse pieces and add them to the mixture. Mix well, leaving some pieces of foie gras unblended.
Whisk the 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form, and gently fold them into the foie gras mixture without crushing them. Pour everything into greased ramekins.
Bake for 15 minutes at 200°C (390°F). At the end of baking, leave the oven door open for 5 minutes to prevent the soufflés from collapsing too quickly.
And there you have it, your foie gras soufflés are ready!
