📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Position one oven rack on the lower third of the oven and move another oven rack to the top third of the oven. Spray a 3-quart straight-sided Dutch oven with cooking spray. Sprinkle all over with the parmesan cheese to coat.

2
In a medium saucepan, place the milk over low heat to warm. Do not simmer.
3
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until the foaming subsides. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the raw flour smell disappears, ⏱️ 2 minutes. Whisk in the salt, mustard, black pepper, and cayenne. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking the mixture until very smooth. Remove the mixture from the heat and mix in the gruyère and chives until melted and smooth.
4
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Gradually mix in the egg yolks until well combined.
5
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar at medium-high speed until medium peaks form, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Gently fold one-third of the egg white mixture into the cheese mixture. Repeat the process twice with the remaining egg whites, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
6
Gently spoon the mixture into the prepared Dutch oven, spreading it into an even layer. Wipe the inside rim of the pot clean and make sure there is at least 1 inch of headspace.
7
Bake on the lower third rack for ⏱️ 30 minutes. Place a piece of foil on the top rack to prevent excess browning and bake until golden brown and puffy, about 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.
