Step-by-Step Directions for Perfect Corn Soufflé
1. Preheat and Prepare
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving later.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until everything is well incorporated. This step ensures a smooth and even texture in your soufflé.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in the corn muffin mix and beaten eggs until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a denser soufflé, so mix gently. If you’re using shredded cheddar cheese, fold it in at this stage for an extra layer of flavor.
4. Transfer to the Baking Dish
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Smooth the surface to ensure even baking.
5. Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, your soufflé is ready.
6. Cool and Serve
Allow the soufflé to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This rest time helps the dish firm up and makes it easier to slice and serve.
