Ingredients

9 Components
Unsalted Butter For greasing baking dishes 2 Tbsp.
Plain Bread Crumbs For coating baking dishes ¼ cup
Kernel Corn Fresh or thawed frozen (3 lbs. for puree, 5 lbs. whole) 8 lbs.
Fresh Garlic Chopped 1½ tsp.
RC Instant Yellow Cheese Sauce Mix 1 package prepared 1 pkg.
Whole Milk 3 cups
Egg Yolks 24 count
Egg Whites Whipped to stiff peaks 24 count

Preparation Steps

1
Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Dishes

Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter glass or stainless steel baking dishes (2 Tbsp. butter) and dust with ¼ cup bread crumbs, tapping out any excess to coat the bottom and sides evenly.

2
Puree Corn & Mix Batter Base

In a food processor, puree 3 lbs. of kernel corn until smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and combine with the remaining 5 lbs. whole kernel corn, 3 cups milk, 1½ tsp. chopped garlic, 1 Tbsp. RC No Added MSG Golden Vegetable Base, 1 package prepared RC Instant Yellow Cheese Sauce Mix, and 24 egg yolks. Mix well until uniform.

3
Whip Egg Whites

In a clean, grease-free mixing bowl using a stand mixer or whisk, whip 24 egg whites at medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

4
Fold Whipped Whites into Corn Mixture

Vigorously fold one-third (1/3) of the whipped egg whites into the dense corn mixture to lighten the batter. Gently fold in the remaining two-thirds of the whites until just combined without deflating the air pockets.

5
Bake & Test Doneness

Pour the airy batter into the prepared baking dishes. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown, puffed, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Chef Notes & Culinary Technique

Dual-Texture Corn Base: Pureeing a portion of the corn creates a natural starch binder and sweet creaminess, while keeping the majority whole provides an appealing rustic mouthfeel in every bite.

Soufflé Aeration: Separating the eggs and folding stiffly whipped whites into the batter transforms a heavy corn casserole into a light, airy soufflé-style pudding that expands beautifully in the oven.

Flavor Synergy: Incorporating RC No Added MSG Golden Vegetable Base enhances the natural roasted mirepoix notes, while RC Instant Yellow Cheese Sauce Mix provides savory cheddar richness and exceptional moisture stability.
