Lox Souffle

1 tbsp butter or margarine
1 cup milk
1 tbsp flour
3/4 lb. lox (smoked salmon)*
3/4 cup butter or margarine
3 eggs, separated
dash of pepper

Melt the tablespoon of butter. Add the milk and then the flour, stirring until smooth, And simmer it all slowly until it is thickened.

Chop the lox up fine, saute it gently in the 3/4 cup butter in another pan and pour it into the milk-flour-butter mixture. Then add the egg yolks and pepper and stir it all around to blend. Remove from heat.

Beat the egg whites stiff and fold them in with everything else.

Now, butter a casserole and pour it all in and bake for 25 minutes in a preheated 375F oven.

*If your salmon is too salty, soak it for a while in some milk, drain it, and then throw the milk away and proceed with recipe.
