1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F. Coat a 2-quart oval baking dish or 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2
Combine milk, salt, white pepper, cayenne, nutmeg and butter in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium and slowly pour in cornmeal, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring often, until very thick, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Stir in corn, 1/2 cup cheese and egg yolks.

Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into cornmeal mixture with a rubber spatula in 2 additions. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

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.
