Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup quick-cooking grits
Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese (about 1/2 ounce), plus more for the ramekins
1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
3 cups water
3 teaspoons coarse salt
2 cups yellow grits (not quick-cooking)
3 cups milk
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups grated (8 ounces) Monterey Jack cheese
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
Kernels from 2 ears fresh corn (1 cup fresh or frozen corn)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 4-quart souffle dish with 2 tablespoons butter; set aside. In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups water to a boil; add 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium, and gradually add grits in a slow, steady stream while whisking constantly. Cook, stirring, until grits have thickened, about 10 minutes.

  • Remove from heat, and stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, 6 tablespoons butter, and the sugar until well combined.
  • Add cheese, red pepper, jalapeno, corn, eggs, thyme, remaining 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper, and mix well. Pour the mixture into the prepared souffle dish, and bake until the souffle has risen and is firm around the edges but the center is still slightly soft, 45 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth texture, use a blender or food processor to blend the grits until fine.
  • For a creamier souffle, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add your favorite seasonings and herbs to the grits mixture to taste.
  • For a cheesy souffle, stir in 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese to the grits mixture.
  • Bake the souffle in a water bath to prevent it from drying out.
  • Serve the souffle immediately after baking for the best results.
