Gail Simmons was so disappointed during the Top Chef Season 5 finale when she learned that Carla Hall's soufflé never made it to the plate: It had curdled in the oven. To make sure her soufflés rise, Gail folds lots of fluffy whipped egg whites into a Roquefort- and-Parmigiano-Reggiano base.

"Most people are afraid of soufflés because they think soufflés are so delicate," says Mike Davis. The starchy potatoes here, however, prevent this fluffy soufflé from falling. If you plan to serve this recipe with the Syrah-Braised Lamb Shoulder, prepare it through Step 2 while the lamb cooks, then bake it as soon as the lamb comes out of the oven.
