Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 2 (15.25 oz / 432 g) cans whole kernel corn
- 2 (14.75 oz / 418 g) cans cream-style corn
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- ¼ cup (50 g) white sugar
- ¼ cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Position the oven rack centrally and warm to 350°F (175°C) for optimal baking conditions.
- Mixing Phase: Combine whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, eggs, sugar, flour, and milk in a large bowl, whisking until the mixture achieves a smooth, homogeneous texture without lumps.
- Dish Preparation: Generously grease a 2-quart ceramic or glass baking dish to prevent adherence and facilitate effortless serving.
- Baking Process: Pour the corn mixture into the prepared dish, ensuring an even distribution with a spatula, then slide into the preheated oven.
- Cooking Progression: Bake for 60-90 minutes, monitoring periodically until the souffle develops a rich golden-brown surface and the center becomes firm with minimal wobbling when gently nudged.
- Resting Stage: Once removed from the oven, let the corn casserole settle for 10-15 minutes, allowing the texture to stabilize and making portioning more manageable.
- Serving Recommendation: Present the corn souffle warm as a sumptuous accompaniment, showcasing its creamy, comforting essence that complements various main courses.
Notes
- Adjust Baking Time: Monitor cooking duration closely, as ovens vary; start checking at 60 minutes to prevent over-browning or drying out.
- Achieve Creamy Texture: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to eliminate lumps and ensure a smooth, consistent mixture before baking.
- Prevent Sticking: Use generous butter or cooking spray when greasing the baking dish for easy removal and clean serving.
- Resting is Crucial: Allow souffle to rest after baking, which helps it set and enhances the overall flavor and texture of the dish.
