| Mushrooms | 1/2 pound, trimmed | |
| Butter/Margarine | 4 Tablespoon | |
| All purpose flour | 3 Tablespoon | |
| Salt | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Milk | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Eggs | 6 , separated | |
| Cream of tartar | 1/4 Teaspoon | |

Directions
1 Saute mushrooms in 1 tablespoon of the butter or margarine in a medium-size frying pan for 5 minutes; remove from heat.
2 Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter or margarine in a medium-size saucepan.
Blend in flour and salt; cook, stirring constantly, until bubbly.
Stir in milk; continue cooking and stir-ring until sauce thickens and boils for 1 minute.
Cool while beating eggs.
3 Beat egg whites with cream of tartar just until they form soft peaks in a large bowl.
4 Beat egg yolks until creamy-thick in a second large bowl; blend in cooled sauce, then mushroom mixture.
Lightly stir in about 1 cupful of the beaten egg whites, then fold in remainder until no streaks of white remain.
Pour into an ungreased 8-cup souffle or straight-side baking dish; gently cut a deep circle in mixture about an inch in from edge with a rubber spatula(This gives souffle its double-puffed top.).
5 Bake in moderate oven (350°) for 45 minutes, or until puffy-firm and golden.
Serve at once with GRUYERE SAUCE.
