Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Prepare ramekins with butter and Parmesan cheese.
Crush dried lavender and combine with lemon zest, 1 tablespoon Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix goat cheese, ricotta, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, thyme, honey, egg yolks, milk, and flour.
Whip egg whites to firm peaks. Gently fold into cheese-yolk mixture in thirds, maintaining some lumps for good rise.
Place ramekins in a baking dish, fill with hot water halfway, and spoon in the mixture until two-thirds full.
Wipe the rims of the ramekins for unobstructed rising.
Bake for 20 minutes until browned and firm. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Gently run a knife around the edges and invert onto plates, or serve straight in ramekins.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
Whipping egg whites correctly is crucial for a fluffy soufflé.
Serve immediately for the best texture and warm flavor.
