Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups frozen or fresh corn kernels
- 1 cup French’s Crispy Jalapeños
- 1/2 cup cooked corn kernels, roasted if desired
- 1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray to ensure the soufflé doesn’t stick during baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. This mixture will provide structure and sweetness to the soufflé.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth, then whisk in the melted and slightly cooled butter to create a rich, creamy base.
- Make Batter: Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined. Gently fold in the corn kernels, breaking apart any large frozen clumps to ensure even texture.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set, indicating it’s fully cooked.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the soufflé from the oven and top with the French’s crispy fried jalapeños, extra roasted corn, and thinly sliced fresh jalapeño peppers for added heat and crunch. Serve immediately to enjoy the soufflé’s light and airy texture.
Notes
- Using fresh corn will offer a sweeter flavor, but frozen corn works well and is more convenient.
- Ensure the butter is not too hot when added to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
- You can roast the extra corn kernels in a skillet for a smoky flavor before topping.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño for desired heat level.
- Serve the soufflé immediately as it can deflate upon cooling.
