soufflé:
a lightly baked cake made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites combined with various other ingredients.
In French, this translates to ‘blown’. Meaning, the cake blows up and becomes pretty and puffy.
This is a fun spin on the classic bacon and eggs for breakfast, and it is very pretty to look at too.
