Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 9-inch round baking dish and dust lightly with sugar.

  2. Step 2

    Mix topfen, egg yolks, flour, 3 tbsp sugar, and lemon zest in a bowl until smooth and combined.

  3. Step 3

    Whip egg whites in a clean bowl with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Fold whites into topfen mixture in two batches—gently turn the bowl and cut down the center each time.

  5. Step 5

    Spread half the soufflé into the baking dish, dollop jam evenly on top, then cover with remaining soufflé.

  6. Step 6

    Bake 18–22 minutes until the top is golden and the center still jiggles slightly when you shake the dish.

  7. Step 7

    Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream and a cup of strong black coffee.
