  12. Divide between the prepared soufflé dishes, place in the oven, reduce the heat to 375 F, and bake 30 to 35 minutes depending on how well done you like your soufflés. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out mostly clean, with no wet batter attached. Don’t open the oven within the first 20 minutes or the soufflés will deflate.Soufflés in ramekins ready to be baked
