    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
    1 1/2 cups skim milk
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup cornmeal
    4 teaspoons unsalted butter
    1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
    3/4 cup sweet red pepper -- finely chopped
    1/2 cup yellow onion -- finely chopped
    1 cup frozen corn kernels -- thawed
    2 large eggs -- separated
    4 large egg whites
    2 teaspoons baking powder

    Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 1 quart baking dish with cooking spray.

    In a medium size saucepan, stir together the broth, milk, sugar, salt and cornmeal, then bring to a boil over moderate heat. Add 2 tsp of the butter and cook the mixture over low heat, whisking occasionally, for 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the cayenne pepper and nutmeg.

    In a nonstick skillet, cook the sweet red pepper and onion in the remaining 2 tsp of butter over moderate heat for 3 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally; add the corn and cook the mixture, stirring, 1 minute more. Stir into the cornmeal mixture.

    In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the baking powder, then stir them into the cornmeal mixture.

    Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Stir 1/4 of the whites into cornmeal mixture, then gently fold in the rest.

    Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 40 minutes or until puffed, then broil 4-inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Serve at once directly from the dish.

    NOTES: Serve with a green salad for a light lunch or dinner.
