Mount Callan Cheese and Leek Souffle
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 leeks, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons plain flour
1 ¼ cups of warm milk
1 cup of grated Mount Callan Cheese
1 tablespoon lemon thyme leaves
cracked black pepper
3 egg yolks
4 egg whites
1 ½ cups cream
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add leeks and cook for 6 minutes or until golden. Set aside.
Place butter in a saucepan over medium heat and melt. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk milk into flour mixture and then stir until mixture has boiled and thickened. Remove mixture from heat and stir through cheese, thyme, pepper, leeks and egg yolks.
Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites through cheese mixture and spoon into six 1 – cup capacity greased soufflé ramekins. Place ramekins in a baking dish and fill dish with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake at 180oC (350oF) for 20 minutes or until soufflés are puffed and set. Remove baking dish from oven and allow soufflés to fall and cool slightly.
To serve, invert soufflés onto deep serving dishes and coat each with cream. Return to oven and bake for a further fifteen minutes or until soufflés are puffed and golden. Serve with a rocket salad.

For the oatmeal biscuits:
225g fine oatmeal
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
75g butter, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
150mls water
Combine dry ingredients with salt and mix well. Combine butter and water in a saucepan to melt butter and bring to the boil. Stir into dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Roll out on a lightly floured surface, while still warm, to 5mm thick and cut into desired shapes. Place on an oven tray and bake at 190oC for 15 – 20 minutes. Keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Makes about 24 6cm rounds.
