Ingredients
Soufflé Base
- 1 (14.75-ounce) can creamed corn
- 1 (8-ounce) package Jiffy corn muffin mix
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 (15.25-ounce) can sweet kernel corn, drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the soufflé.
- Whisk the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the creamed corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, melted butter, sour cream, egg, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Mix in Corn, Cheese, and Chives: Gently fold in the drained sweet kernel corn, half of the shredded cheddar cheese (½ cup), and the finely chopped chives using a spatula, just until all ingredients are evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Prepare Baking Dish and Bake: Spray an 8×10-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish generously with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the batter mixture into the dish, smoothing the top if needed. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Add Remaining Cheese and Continue Baking: After 25 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center slightly jiggles.
- Rest Before Serving: Allow the corn soufflé to sit for 5 to 10 minutes to set before slicing and serving, enhancing its texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the sweet kernel corn well to avoid excess moisture in the soufflé.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of black pepper or a dash of smoked paprika if desired.
- Use a glass or ceramic baking dish to ensure even cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven to maintain texture.
- The soufflé is best served warm for the fluffiest texture and richest flavor.
