When making souffles, make sure the oven is hot and ready for baking, since they are highly reliant on the oven temperature.

probably due to the temp change - I was taught to cook the souffle until it is still slightly wiggly in the center, then to turn off the oven and open the door to let it rest while still in the oven. It will finish cooking while the oven is cooling

http://www.baking911.com/howto/souffle.htm Souffle's should be served immediately. If you wait, the steam inside escapes and causes it to "fall".
