--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   8      ounces        Gruyere cheese -- shredded
   5      tablespoons   butter
   2                    shallots -- diced
     1/2                onion -- diced
   1      pound         mushrooms -- sliced
     1/2  cup           flour
   2      cups          vegetable broth
   1      teaspoon      kosher salt
     1/2  teaspoon      pepper
     1/4  teaspoon      nutmeg
     1/4  cup           chopped Italian parsley
   6                    egg whites

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 2-quart souffle dish using 1
tablespoon butter. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 2-quart saucepan. Add
shallots, onion, and mushrooms. Cook until softened (10 to 12 minutes). Remove
from pan and reserve. Using the same pan, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter
and melt over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add
vegetable broth and stir until sauce thickens. Return mushroom mixture to pan.
Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, parsley, and cheese. Let cool slightly. In
large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Stir one third of the whites
into mushroom mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold remaining two thirds of
the whites into mushroom mixture. Pour carefully into prepared souffle dish.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
