Kaassoufflé is a popular Dutch snack, commonly found in the Netherlands and Belgium. It is a deep-fried, breaded snack filled with melted cheese. The name "kaassoufflé" translates to "cheese soufflé" in English, although it is quite different from the traditional soufflé.

History[edit | edit source]

The kaassoufflé originated in the Netherlands and has become a staple in Dutch fast food culture. It is often enjoyed as a quick snack or as part of a meal from a snackbar or automatiek.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

Kaassoufflés are typically made by encasing a slice of cheese in a thin dough, which is then breaded and deep-fried until golden brown. The cheese used is usually a type of Gouda or Edam, both of which are traditional Dutch cheeses known for their melting properties.

Serving[edit | edit source]

Kaassoufflés are usually served hot, often accompanied by a variety of dipping sauces such as mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard. They are a common item in Dutch cuisine and are frequently found in cafeterias, pubs, and food trucks.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

In the Netherlands, kaassoufflés are a beloved snack and are often associated with casual dining and social gatherings. They are also a popular choice for late-night snacks and are commonly found in vending machines in train stations and other public places.

Variations[edit | edit source]

While the traditional kaassoufflé is filled with cheese, there are several variations that include additional ingredients such as ham, spinach, or mushrooms. These variations are less common but can be found in some specialized snack bars.
