3/4 cup dried tomatoes broken into small pieces (not in oil)
11/4 cups milk (I used goat’s milk)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 eggs, separated
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
2 cups marinara of choice
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Heat oven to 350°.
Butter a 4 cup souffle dish or 1 quart cassarole. Make a 4″ band of aluminum foil 2″ longer than the circumference of the dish, butter 1 side and secure it, butter side in, around the dish.
Heat butter (or margarine) in a saucepan over low heat until melted. Add garlic. Blend in flour, salt,.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute.

Remove from heat
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff but not dry.
Beat egg yolks until very thick and lemon colored, about 5 minutes.
Stir yolks into cheese mixture.
Stir about 1/4 of the egg whites into cheese mixture.
Fold cheese mixture into remaining egg whites.
Carefully pour into souffle dish.
Cook uncovered for 50 – 60 minutes.
Do not open the oven too many times while baking or the souffle will fall!
Remove from oven and ooooh and aaaaah.
