Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter
3 cups 1% milk
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
4 oz extra-sharp reduced-fat Cheddar (made from 2% milk), coarsely grated
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Cook onion and bell pepper in butter in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until softened. Add milk and bring to a boil. Add cornmeal in a slow stream, whisking, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
  • Whisk in cheese, parsley, yolks, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  • Beat whites with cream of tartar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until they just hold stiff peaks.
