Corn Spoon Bread image

This recipe is from the kitchen of a Southern family friend. Corn Spoon Bread is more like a custard than bread and is soft enough to eat with a spoon. The finer the cornmeal, the creamier and smooth the texture will be.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for the pan
2 cups whole milk
1 cup yellow enriched cornmeal, very fine
salt and black pepper
1 (10 ounce) can cream-style corn
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
2 eggs, seperated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Butter an oven-proof casserole or round souffle dish.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine milk and cornmeal over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, whisking rapidly and constantly, until very thick (@ 5 min). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour into a large bowl. Add the corn, chives, and the 2 tbsp of butter. Season again with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Add the egg yolks one at a time, stirring after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt using a hand-held mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold meringue mixture into the cornbread mixture.
  • Pour the cornbread mixture into the pan and spoon with a spatula. Bake 35-40 minutes. The spoon bread should be puffed and risen with a golden brown top and the insides should be firm and moist. Serve immediately.
