A souffle is a light and airy mixture that begins with egg yolk and lightened by stiffly beaten egg whits. This souffle is savory and is richly colored by the carrots. Souffles are usually baked in a class souffle dish that has round and straight sides to facilitate rising. Individual servings cook faster and are wonderful served for lunch with a Caesar salad and cheddar cheese biscuits.
