Day 7 Snack: Office Splurge - Chocolate Souffle

I saw a chocolate souffle recipe on New York Times the other day, and
it requires no more than 3 major ingredients - eggs, semi-sweet
chocolate, and sugar, I decided to make by using our office toaster
oven.

The steps for making this chocolate souffle are straight forward; the
key to make successful souffle is to whip egg whites until stiff in
order to support the rest of the ingredients during baking. To whip
egg whites, the beaters have to be spotless clean; even a tiny drop of
yolk or other types of liquid can affect the outcome of the egg white
foam. After combining the ingredients together, I baked the 1-cup size
ramekins for 17 minutes and 2-cup size ramekin for 20 minutes. To my
own surprise, the toaster oven did its job and our souffles tasted
wonderful, like a chocolate molten cake, but without overwhelmingly
sweet!

Although I am working with only 100 dollars this month, I didn't
hesitate to buy organic eggs. I believe that if I don't overeat and
choose ingredients carefully, then I can still enjoy great food with
quality ingredients.

Total estimated cost: $1.30 (I already had the chocolate and sugar)
