Today’s low carb souffle recipe came about through a series of odd events.
In my oddly dyslexic mind, I thought I had a bunch of sorrel (which I’ve had once before in my life) in last week’s CSA box. Having only briefly glanced at the items list and remembering an ‘s’, I mentally populated it with sorrel.
Imagine my taste buds’ disgust upon trying to chew on raw SAGE.

- Evenly line each ramekin with almond flour mixture
- With slightly softened goat cheese, flatten with with your fingers and press on top of almond flour base. If omitting base, smush goat cheese into bottom of ramekin. Use 1 oz of goat cheese per ramekin.

Thanks – this recipe looks awesome!
I am curious about the 8 carbs for 4 ounces of soft goat cheese. I am looking for first phase Atkins recipes and I thought goat cheese was about 1 carb per 4 ounces. Do you use a particular brand? Is there a huge difference in carb counts between brands?
Hopefully I am not bothering you with all my questions. Thanks, again,
Lisa

Hi Lisa!
I use a tool called MyFitnessPal and grab whatever looks vaguely accurate. Always go by the label of the product you use. I haven’t seen a huge variation between brands but there are not many brand choices in my local market. Let me know if you try out the recipe and if you like it! Atkins is great, have you done it before?
