🌿 What is a Soufflé Ouellette?
While the word soufflĂ© conjures up images of high French cuisine, “Ouellette” (sometimes a family name, sometimes a playful take on “omelette”) is what makes this version unique. Think of it as a cross between a quiche and a soufflé—light as air, yet hearty enough to be the star of your meal.
Mother Pollard’s version is known for its gentle fold of cheeses, herbs, and farm-fresh eggs, often customized with seasonal vegetables or even bits of ham or bacon.
