Onion and Sage Cheese Soufflés
We always like to have a nice, light meal the day after Christmas. A souffle isn’t as much trouble as you might think, and it sits well on your tummy after a hectic couple of days. This is also a nice meal for the ladies that like to shop the specials after Christmas. For that occasion, you may want to add a nice glass of wine with this souffle and relax with your fellow-shoppers.
