Instructions
Preheat and Prep
Set your oven to 350°F before you start mixing. Grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. This ensures the soufflé slides out easily.
Melt the Butter
Place your stick of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it until it is completely liquid. Let it cool slightly so it does not cook the eggs later.
Combine the Corn
Open both cans of corn. Drain the liquid from the whole kernel corn. Pour both the whole corn and cream-style corn into a large bowl.
Mix in Wet Ingredients
Add the melted butter, sour cream, and beaten eggs to the corn. Stir them together until the mixture looks smooth and creamy. The sour cream adds amazing moisture.
Add the Muffin Mix
Fold in the box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. Stir gently until all the dry clumps disappear. Do not overmix the batter. You want it light and fluffy.
Incorporate the Cheese
If you are using cheddar cheese, stir it in now. Cheese adds a beautiful golden color to the top. It also gives the dish a savory kick.
Bake Until Golden
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The center should be slightly firm but still have a tiny jiggle.
Cool and Serve
Remove the dish from the oven. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This helps the soufflé set so it isn't too runny.
Notes
Add some heat: Mix in a small can of diced green chiles for a Tex-Mex flavor.
Honey drizzle: Add a tablespoon of honey to the batter for extra sweetness.
Crispy top: Sprinkle extra cheese or crushed crackers on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Don't over-drain: Keep the liquid from the cream-style corn; it provides the essential moisture for the pudding texture.
Make it ahead: You can mix the ingredients a few hours early and keep them in the fridge.
