• 1 can (15.25 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Optional: 1/4 cup chopped green onions or jalapeños for added flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish or soufflé dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream-style corn, drained whole kernel corn, melted butter, sour cream, and egg yolks. Mix well until evenly combined.
3. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Beat the Egg Whites:
   • In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
6. Fold in the Egg Whites:
   • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the corn mixture until just incorporated. Be gentle to maintain the volume of the egg whites.
7. Add Optional Ingredients:
   • If using chopped green onions or jalapeños, fold them into the corn mixture at this stage.
8. Bake the Soufflé:
   • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed and golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Serve:
   • Remove the corn soufflé from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
   • Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a light main course. Enjoy the fluffy goodness of this classic Corn Soufflé!
