  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  • Grease 4 small soufflé molds with butter and dust with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Cook the corn and remove the kernels, set aside.
  • In a small pot, melt the butter and add the green onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes until very soft.
  • Add the flour and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk.
  • Add the milk and cook until it thickens slightly, stirring constantly.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Taste, making sure it is well seasoned as the flavors will dilute with the egg.
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
  • Add the egg yolks to the béchamel mixture (make sure it’s not too hot or it may cook the eggs). Add the cheese and corn kernels.
  • Beat the egg whites (at room temperature) with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  • With a spatula, gently fold the two mixtures together.
  • Divide the soufflé mixture into the greased molds.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and slightly overflowing from the mold.
  • Remove from the oven and serve immediately as they will deflate quickly!
