For the Souffle:
- In preparation, preheat the oven to 200® and butter the soufflé dish well and set aside for later
- Place the egg white in your mixing bowl and whisk until peaks are formed
- Place half the whites on top of the cheesy base, add the herbs and smoked salmon and mix – now add the remaining whisked egg whites and stir, making sure to not over stir
