  • Ingredients:

    2 tbsp. butter
    2 tbsp. flour
    250 ml full-cream milk

    125 ml Cheddar cheese, grated
    1 can (410 g) Rhodes Cream-style Sweetcorn

    ½ tsp. salt and coarsely ground black pepper
    3 extra large eggs, separated

  • Method:

    1. Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Stir until smooth. Add the milk and stir until the mixture starts to thicken.
    2. Remove from the heat, add the cheese and Rhodes Cream-style Sweetcorn and mix well. Season to taste and add the egg yolks.
    3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to form stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the sweetcorn mixture.
    4. Spoon the soufflé mixture into 6 cups or ramekins. Place the soufflés in a large oven dish and fill it halfway up with warm water.
    5. Bake the soufflés in a preheated oven at 180˚C for 30 - 40 minutes or until risen and firm to the touch.
    6. Serve immediately.

    Tips:

    • Do not butter or use non-stick spray on the cups/ramekins - the soufflé will slide away from the sides if you do.
    • Use creamy blue or Gruyere cheese for extra flavour.
