Retry Correct Incorrect There are many common myths stating that stomping around near a cooking soufflé or opening the oven door before it’s finished cooking will make it fall. However, the actual culprit is rogue fat getting in the mixture to keep the soufflé from bubbling properly. Since the dish is egg-based, the most common source of that unwanted fat is stray bits of egg yolk.
