- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use farm-fresh eggs, high-quality cheese, and freshly ground herbs to enhance the flavor profile.
- Infuse with Care: Decarboxylate your cannabis before infusing it into a fat, like butter, which will be used in your soufflé base.
- Maintain Temperature: Preheat your oven and avoid opening it during baking to ensure the soufflé rises beautifully.

- Strain: Use cheesecloth to strain the mixture, discarding the plant material.
