Total time: 1 hour
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 100 g of telemea cheese
- 100 g of cheese
- 1 small can of sweet corn (about 300 g)
- 1 small can of peas (about 300 g)
- 2 green onions
- 4 tablespoons of sour cream
- 2 wild boar sausages (optional)
- Salt, pepper
- 1 tomato (for decoration)
- Fresh rosemary leaves (for decoration)

Preheating and preparation:
Before you start, it is essential to preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. This will ensure even baking and a perfect texture for your soufflé. Also, prepare a heat-resistant dish, which you will grease with butter and flour to prevent the soufflé from sticking.

Step 1: Separating the eggs
Start by separating the eggs. Put the egg whites in a large bowl and the yolks in another bowl. It is important to ensure that no traces of yolk remain in the egg whites, as this will affect their ability to be whipped into foam.

Step 2: Whipping the egg whites
Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and start beating them with an electric mixer or a whisk until they become a firm foam. Here you can observe how the egg whites transform, becoming airy and fluffy, which will give your soufflé a light texture.

Step 3: Combining the ingredients
After you have obtained a firm foam, gradually add the yolks, continuing to beat. Then, add the 4 tablespoons of sour cream and mix well until homogeneous. Next, sift the flour mixed with baking soda. At this point, it is important to mix gently, using a spatula, so as not to lose the air in the mixture.

Step 4: Adding the vegetables and cheese
Grate the telemea cheese and cheese on a large grater. Drain the peas and sweet corn, then slice the green onions thinly. If you choose to use sausages, slice them as well. Add all these ingredients to the egg mixture and mix gently, so that the vegetables are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Transferring to the baking dish
Pour the mixture into the prepared heat-resistant dish. Finally, decorate the soufflé with thin slices of tomatoes, a few fresh rosemary leaves, and sprinkle freshly ground pepper for an extra flavor.

Step 6: Baking
Place the dish in the preheated oven and let the soufflé bake for 30 minutes. You will know it is ready when it becomes golden and fluffy. The aroma that will spread in the kitchen will make you eagerly await to enjoy it!
