  Separate the eggs.

  Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.

  In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then add the flour and stir until smooth and lump-free. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Sprinkle in the chili and salt, then cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat.

  Stir in the grated cheese until completely melted. Taste and add a little more salt if needed. Finally, stir in the egg yolks.

  Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the cheese mixture with a spatula, adding in several batches.

  Divide the mixture among the soufflé dishes, filling them about 3/4 full. Place the dishes in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
