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, roasted if desired
- 1 cup French’s Crispy Jalapeños
- 1/2 cup cooked corn kernels, roasted if desired
- 1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray to prepare it for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, whisk the six large eggs and two cups of heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Then whisk in the melted and slightly cooled butter until incorporated.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking gently until just combined into a smooth batter.
- Add Corn: Gently fold in the six cups of corn kernels, breaking apart any large frozen chunks if necessary, to evenly distribute the corn in the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the top is fully golden brown and the center is set and firm to the touch.
- Add Toppings and Serve: After removing the soufflé from the oven, top it with the crispy French’s jalapeños, extra roasted corn kernels, and the thinly sliced fresh jalapeño pepper for added flavor and crunch. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Using fresh or roasted corn kernels will enhance the flavor significantly.
- Make sure the melted butter is cooled slightly to avoid cooking the eggs when mixing.
- Breaking apart frozen corn chunks ensures even texture and prevents uneven baking.
- This soufflé is best served immediately to enjoy the crisp topping.
- You can adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the heat level according to your preference.
