Corn and Cheddar Souffle
This is from the September 2008 Homemakers magazine. Our family has always enjoyed souffle and this was a twist on our usual. I really like the fresh corn but you could likely substitute frozen or canned in the off-season. Goes great with in-season asparagus or green beans, and fresh bread. Enjoy!

- Remove from heat; add cheese, stirring until melted. Scrape into large bowl. Stir in onions; whisk in egg yolks.
