souffle
Deflates if jostled
A soufflé is a light, fluffy baked dish that puffs up dramatically in the oven.
Made from a base of egg yolks and other ingredients folded with beaten egg whites, it can be savory (cheese soufflé) or sweet (chocolate soufflé).
Soufflés are notoriously temperamental—they deflate quickly after leaving the oven and must be served immediately.
The soufflé collapsed before it reached the table.
