Spoon Bread Soufflé

Pimienta's Note:

This recipe has the taste of cornbread, with a creamy texture. It's almost a cross between a souffle and cornbread. Great comfort food! Serves 2.

I made this tonight as my first souffle and my first spoonbread all in one. It rose beautifully. We thought the portions were a bit large and would probably make it into three servings. We also felt it was a bit bland and could use a touch more sweet and salt. I'm not sure how to adjust those without messing with the souffle aspect, but I simply salted my bites and loved the texture. I'll be excited to eat my other half tomorrow. Thanks, Pimienta!

I have been making this dish for breakfast for several months and it is always great. It is wonderful with berries and syrup. Thank you for a great dish.

A lovely, light, slightly sweet tasting spoonbread! I didn't have 2-cup dishes, so used a larger dish and baked it all as one. Thank you Pimienta!
