Ingredients:

1 cup

Honey

Directions:

1

Prepare the souffle: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and generously butter a 4-cup souffle dish

2

Wrap the dish with a buttered parchment collar (see right)

3

Sprinkle the inside with sugar and shake out the excess

4

Combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, orange and lemon zests and the vanilla in a large bowl

5

Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes

6

Beat in the egg yolks until incorporated

7

(At this point, the mixture can be covered and refrigerated up to 6 hours; bring to room temperature before continuing

8

) When ready to bake, put the egg whites in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed until foamy

9

(Make sure the bowl and beaters are clean

10

) Increase the speed to medium high and gradually add 6 tablespoons sugar; beat until stiff and glossy

11

Stir one-third of the egg whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the rest until just incorporated

12

(It's OK if a few streaks of egg white remain

13

) Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and bake in the center of the oven until puffed and golden, about 35 minutes

14

Meanwhile, make the compote: Combine the orange juice, honey and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes

15

Let cool slightly, then add the orange segments

16

Remove the souffle from the oven and remove the parchment collar

17

Serve immediately with the compote-the souffle will start sinking after a couple of minutes
