Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350°F In a small frying pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and warm the oil. Add the onions and sauté until soft, stirring occasionally so they don't brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool until lukewarm.
- In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, salt, sugar, and baking powder, and set the mixture aside.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the corn with the milk. Blend in the egg yolks and ten combine this mixture, along with the cheese and onions, with the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Carefully fold the egg whites into the corn mixture, and then pour it into a 7- by 11-inch buttered and floured baking dish.
- Sprinkle the casserole with the Parmesan cheese and bake it in the middle of the oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Serves 6 as a main dish, 12 as a side dish.
