4 steps

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup buttermilk (shake before measuring)
  • 3/4 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 cup coarsely grated Cheddar

Directions

  1. 1
    Position a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 375°F. Butter a 2-quart souffle dish.
  2. 2
    Place cornmeal in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk baking powder, cayenne and salt. Bring milk just to a simmer; whisk into cornmeal until smooth. Whisk in buttermilk, corn, butter, egg yolks, parsley and baking powder mixture.
  3. 3
    Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites just until they hold stiff peaks. Gently fold egg whites and 1/2 cup Cheddar into cornmeal mixture. Transfer to souffle dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar.
  4. 4
    Bake until top is golden brown and spoon bread is set around edges but still slightly jiggly in center, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
