Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the beaten eggs, creamed corn, drained whole kernel corn, sour cream, Jiffy corn muffin mix, and corn oil until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a greased soufflé dish.
- Sprinkle grated Cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden brown and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider substituting Greek yogurt for sour cream. If you prefer a bit of spice, add diced jalapeños or green chilies to the mix. Make sure to grease your soufflé dish well to prevent sticking. For a fun twist, you could replace Jiffy corn muffin mix with Duncan Hines Yellow Deluxe II for a different flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions
This corn soufflé is fantastic as a side dish for grilled meats or roasted vegetables. It pairs beautifully with Baked Mashed Potato Duo for a comforting meal. You can also serve it alongside a fresh green salad for a light lunch. Adding a dollop of salsa or a side of sour cream can enhance the flavors even more.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the corn soufflé in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick snack, but the oven will help maintain its texture.
