This Leek, Potato & Cheese Souffle is a fantastic dish to make when all you have are some ordinary, inexpensive ingredients like potatoes, eggs and leeks. Adding potatoes gives the soufflé a crispy top while the inside remains soft and fluffy. I love to serve this dish with a fresh green salad and a spoon of relish on the side.

Making this souffle couldn’t be easier. Start by sautéing leeks in butter and adding sour cream. Add egg yolks and potatoes and cheddar cheese. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold the egg white into the cheese mixture. Transfer to the soufflé dish and sprinkle the top with the reserved Cheddar, Parmesan and a sprinkling of cayenne pepper. Place on a baking tray and bake on the center shelf for 30 minutes or until well risen and golden brown.
