List of Ingredients
2 cups milk
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 tsp. salt
1 ½ cups fresh corn kernels, frozen corn kernels, thawed, or one 151/4-oz. can whole-kernel corn, drained
5 egg yolks
1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
5 egg whites
Recipe
Grease a 1½-quart soufflé dish**. For a collar, measure enough foil to wrap around the top of the dish and add 3 inches. Fold foil into thirds lengthwise. Lightly grease 1 side. Place foil, greased side in, around outside of the dish so it extends about 2 inches above edge of dish. Tape ends of foil together. Set aside.
In a large saucepan combine milk, cornmeal, butter, and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until thickened (do not boil). Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in corn. Let cool 10 minutes. Beat in the egg yolks, 1 at a time. Stir in the cheese.
In large mixing bowl beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold a third of the egg whites into cornmeal mixture. Fold the cornmeal mixture into remaining whites.
Pour mixture into prepared soufflé dish. Bake in a 350° oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve immediately. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
**If you don't have a soufflé dish: Grease a 2-quart casserole. Pour soufflé mixture into the casserole. Bake in a 375° oven for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
