Tips:

Pick Fresh Ingredients: Choosing sweet corn and fresh onions is essential for a flavorful souffle. Look for plump corn kernels and firm, white onions.
Sauté the Ingredients: Sautéing the corn and onions before adding them to the souffle batter enhances their flavors and adds a nice caramelized touch.
Season Wisely: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Salt, pepper, and cayenne add depth and balance to the souffle.
Fold Gently: When incorporating the egg whites into the batter, fold them gently to maintain their airiness. Overmixing will deflate the souffle.
Bake in a Water Bath: Baking the souffle in a water bath creates a humid environment that helps it rise evenly and prevents overcooking.
Serve Promptly: Souffles are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Their delicate texture tends to deflate over time.
