By: Andrew Chase

Sweet corn makes a surprisingly good soufflé, especially when paired with well-aged Cheddar cheese, sharpened with a little fresh green hot pepper – a real North American version of a French home-cooked favourite. If you like your soufflé slightly runny in the centre, cook it for about 35 minutes; for fully set centre, cook it for about 40 minutes.

Ingredients

4 cobs fresh corn

1/4 cup (60 mL) butter

1/4 cup (60 mL) fine cornmeal

1 tsp (5 mL) salt

1/4 tsp (1 mL) white pepper

Pinch nutmeg

1-1/4 cups (300 mL) milk

1 or 2 green hot peppers, seeded and chopped

1-1/4 cups (300 mL) grated aged Canadian Cheddar cheese

2 green onions, very thinly sliced

6 eggs, separated

Pinch cream of tartar

Preparation

Butter and flour 10-cup/2.5 L soufflé dish; set aside.

Preheat oven to 425F/220C.

Strip corn from cobs; discarding cobs, set aside.

In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add cornmeal, salt, pepper and nutmeg and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Slowly stir in milk and bring to boil; add corn and hot peppers and simmer over medium heat, stirring, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add cheese, stirring until melted. Scrape into large bowl. Stir in onions; whisk in egg yolks.

In separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until in stiff but not dry peaks; fold one-third into cornmeal mixture. Gently fold in remaining whites. Scrape into prepared soufflé dish. Place on middle rack of oven; reduce heat to 400F/200C. Bake until puffed and brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
