Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup canned corn kernels, drained
- 1 cup creamed corn
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart soufflé or casserole dish.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps remain. Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sugar, corn kernels, creamed corn, egg yolks, cheddar cheese, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the corn mixture in thirds, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed and golden brown on top.
Serve immediately for the best texture and enjoy the light, creamy goodness!
