I've never made a soufflé before. Soufflés sounded like scary, fancy French food - something that Julia Child
would have futzed over for months trying to perfect. I learned, however, that a soufflé (which means "puff up" in French) is just a cake with separated eggs. The beaten egg whites are used to give the cake lift - not so frightening. My soufflé is even less imposing since it's made in a cast iron skillet. Breakfast in a skillet is like a man in a cowboy hat. It doesn't matter how handsome the dish actually is; sticking it in the skillet gives it instant appeal.Each bite of this lime, pineapple, and mascarpone soufflé is like eating warm lime clouds, pineapple sunshine, and a soft dulche de leche breeze. I see more soufflés in my future.
