Copycat Stouffer's Corn Souffle

For a richer flavor, use homemade creamed corn or blend fresh corn with a little cream and sugar.

Try different spices like cayenne pepper or paprika for a bit of heat.

Make sure the baking dish is well-greased to prevent sticking and easy serving.

For an extra-golden crust, consider broiling the corn souffle for the last few minutes of baking.

Serve corn souffle immediately after baking; it will deflate as it cools.

Add fresh herbs like chives or cilantro for a fresh flavor boost.

If you enjoy a bit of sweetness, mix in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.

Make sure your oven is fully preheated before adding the souffle or it may not puff up properly.

To save time on busy days, mix the ingredients the night before and refrigerate until ready to bake.
