Fresh Corn Spoon Bread

Directions

Ingredients :

4 cups milk

1 ¼ cups cornmeal

1 ½ teaspoons salt

1 cup sweet corn

⅓ cup chopped green onions

¼ cup unsalted butter

cubed

3 eggs

separated

Methods :

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter one 8x8x2- inch glass baking dish.

Whisk milk, cornmeal, and salt in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil, whisking constantly until mixture begins to thicken, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook until the mixture is very thick, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes.

Transfer cornmeal to a large bowl. Stir in corn, green onions, and butter. Add the egg yolks one at a time, stirring after each one.

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the egg white mixture into the warm cornmeal to lighten it; fold in remaining egg whites. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven until light, puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
