Categories     Egg

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups whole milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
5 ounces grated Red Leicester, or farmhouse cheddar
2 ounces crumbled Stilton, Gorgonzola, or Maytag blue cheese
4 large egg yolks
1 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard or 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
cayenne pepper (I added on my own)
6 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream, for reheating

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter and flour 1 large souffle dish or 4 to 6 individual ones with an 8 to 12 ounce capacity. Heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add the flour, whisking until smooth and creamy. Cook about 3 minutes, until the mixture turns straw colored. Whisking, pour in the hot milk, and whisk constantly over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheeses, 4 egg yolks, corn, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside to cool 5 minutes. Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, and then fold into the souffle mixture in thirds with a rubber spatula. Pour the mixture into the souffle dish or dishes, and then place them in a roasting pan. Pour hot water into the pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake 25 to 35 minutes for individual souffles, 35 to 45 minutes for large ones, until risen and slightly firmed. Serve immediately or let the souffles cool in the dish, then turn out, cover, and refrigerate. (The dish can be made up to this point up to 24 hours in advance.) If made ahead of time: to serve, arrange the turned out souffles in a baking dish, poke a hole in the top and pour a little heavy cream inside, then drizzle a little heavy cream over the top of each souffle, and bake at 400 degrees until hot and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
