Ingredients
Scale
Soufflé Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can cream-style corn
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (8½-ounce) box Jiffy corn muffin mix
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking of the soufflé.
- Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, lightly beaten egg, melted butter, sour cream, and the Jiffy corn muffin mix. Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, forming a smooth batter.
- Grease Baking Dish: Lightly butter or spray a 2-quart baking dish to prevent sticking and help the soufflé release easily once baked.
- Pour Batter into Dish: Transfer the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking and rising.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, until the top becomes golden brown and the soufflé is set and puffed up when gently shaken.
- Cool Slightly and Serve: Remove the soufflé from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This resting period helps the soufflé to set further and makes it easier to slice and serve.
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter soufflé, you can add a tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
- Use fresh corn kernels as a substitute for canned corn for a fresher flavor and texture.
- The soufflé tends to deflate slightly after cooling, so serve it promptly for the best presentation.
- To make this dish gluten-free, substitute the Jiffy corn muffin mix with a gluten-free cornmeal mix but note the texture may vary.
