1
Preheat the oven to approximately 375u00b0F and have ready a casserole dish, approximately 8x10 inches, lightly buttered.
2
In a clean saucepan, melt the butter and lightly saute the finely diced onions. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and salt.
3
Add the milk and bring to a simmer. Add the cornmeal and work briskly with a wooden spoon to prevent any lumps. Cook the cornmeal for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring gently over low heat. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
4
Next add the cheese, the egg yolks and the corn and stir well so that everything is thoroughly mixed.
5
Whisk the egg whites so as they are at a soft peak stage and then incorporate 1/3 at a time to a corn mixture.
6
Pour everything into the casserole and bake for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes prior to serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
