God is not jealous like an insecure employer who fears that his employees might get lured away by a better salary elsewhere. God’s jealousy is not the reflex of weakness or fear. Instead God is jealous like a powerful and merciful king who takes a peasant girl from a life of shame, forgives her, marries her, and gives her not the chores of a slave, but the privileges of a wife – a queen. His jealousy does not rise from fear or weakness but from a holy indignation at having His honor and power and mercy scorned by the faithlessness of a fickle spouse.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter the interior of 4 ramekins and lightly
coat the entire surface with the bread crumbs, making sure the crumbs
adhere to the rim. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks, cheese, and
walnuts to combine.
Fold in the bread cubes: coat thoroughly. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Whip
the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Using your whisk, fold in 1/2 of the
egg whites, mix to incorporate.
Season highly. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the remaining egg white.
Divide the mixture between the 4 prepared ramekins. Make sure to fill them
up all the way, but do not touch the rims with any of the mixture. Place
the ramekins on a baking sheet, and carefully place in the center of the
oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
While the souffles are baking, decorate your plates with walnuts, drizzle
of oil, mint, and a sprinkle of pepper. Remove the souffles from the oven
and serve immediately.
