Preheat oven to 400°F. Move rack to the lowest third
of the oven. Butter 2 (6- or 8-ounce) soufflé dishes.
Dust each dish with 1 tablespoon Parmesan, making
sure that the sides and bottom are well coated.
Set aside.
Microwave milk for 30 seconds.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat,
melt butter. Whisk in flour, whisking continually for
2 minutes, being careful not to let the mixture burn.
Add warm milk in a steady stream and whisk
continually for about 3 minutes until thickened.
Mixture should coat the back of a wooden spoon
when thick. Whisk in the salt, mustard, and nutmeg.
Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, beat egg yolk. Temper yolk by whisking
in a little butter sauce. Slowly whisk tempered egg yolk
into the rest of the sauce. Set aside.
In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat egg
whites until stiff, about 5 minutes. Fold about half of
beaten egg whites into sauce. Sprinkle half
of cheese into sauce. Fold in remaining egg
whites and then remaining cheese.
Divide batter equally between the prepared dishes.
Place them on a baking pan large enough to hold
both dishes. Bake for about 16 minutes. Do not
open the oven door during baking; opening the door
can cause the soufflé to fall. Use the oven light to
check on the soufflé; when the soufflé has puffed, it
is done.
