Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish or 9x13-inch pan.

  2. Beat the softened cream cheese cubes with the melted butter in a large bowl until smooth.

  3. Add the eggs, drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn and corn muffin mix, then stir until just combined.

  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving a small handful for the top if you like, and spread the batter in the prepared dish.

  5. Sprinkle any reserved cheese over the top and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until golden and set in the center, with an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for the eggs.

  6. Let the souffle cool for 10 minutes before serving.
