1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0F Butter an oven-proof casserole or round souffle dish.

   In a medium saucepan, combine milk and cornmeal over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, whisking rapidly and constantly, until very thick (@ 5 min). Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Pour into a large bowl. Add the corn, chives, and the 2 tbsp of butter. Season again with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Add the egg yolks one at a time, stirring after each addition.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt using a hand-held mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold meringue mixture into the cornbread mixture.

   Pour the cornbread mixture into the pan and spoon with a spatula. Bake 35-40 minutes. The spoon bread should be puffed and risen with a golden brown top and the insides should be firm and moist. Serve immediately.
