Four Cheese Soufflé: The Full Breakdown

The Four Cheese Soufflé is the meat-free one: a baked egg mixture with Neufchâtel, cheddar, Parmesan and Romano in a croissant crust. It is the vegetarian option among Panera's soufflés.

It is 480 calories, slightly lighter than the Spinach & Bacon version at 520. Like the others it is baked in the morning in limited numbers and sells out at busy cafes, so ordering ahead is the reliable way to get one.

On the board the Four Cheese Soufflé sits under Breakfast. For everything else in that section see the Panera breakfast menu, or the full Panera Bread menu with prices.

Four Cheese Soufflé Nutrition

A Four Cheese Soufflé carries 480 cal, which is 24% of a 2,000 calorie day.

Panera's macro panel for the Four Cheese Soufflé does not reconcile with the 480 cal shown above: the protein, fat and carbohydrate figures work out to about 334 calories, so the two describe different servings. It is left off rather than published against the wrong portion.

A state appears here only where at least 5 cafes priced the item, so a few states are missing rather than cheap. Comparing it against the rest of the breakfast range, or against another Panera item, is worth doing before you decide. A median also hides both ends of its own state, which is what the next section shows.

Where a Panera sits changes what it charges

Cafes inside airports, hospitals, campuses and highway service areas turn up among the dearest far more often than their share of the network would suggest. The dearest cafe for the Four Cheese Soufflé is not, so check the cafe rather than assume. How Panera prices vary by location.

The spread is not only a matter of which state you are in. Florida alone has 194 cafes selling the Four Cheese Soufflé, and inside that one state the price still runs from $6.59 to $7.69. Two cafes twenty minutes apart can differ by more than a state border does.

Prices are each cafe's own, and a cafe can change them at any time.
