Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup quick-cooking grits
Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese (about 1/2 ounce), plus more for the ramekins
1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
2 large egg yolks plus 4 egg whites, at room temperature
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
6 cups baby arugula
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Mix the grits and 1 1/2 cups water in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir occasionally until slightly cooled. Meanwhile, coat four 10-ounce ramekins with cooking spray and sprinkle with parmesan; tap out the excess. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
  • Combine the cooled grits, corn, cream cheese, egg yolks, thyme, 1/2 cup parmesan and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a blender. Puree until smooth, stopping the motor to stir by hand if needed (the mixture will be thick). Transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and 1/2 teaspoon vinegar until medium peaks form. Fold one-quarter of the whites into the grits mixture, then fold in the rest. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Toss the arugula with the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, the olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the souffles.

This souffle was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

This souffle is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth it. It's so fluffy and cheesy. I'll definitely be making it again.

I'm not a fan of grits, but I loved this souffle. The cheese and eggs really balance out the grits.

I was really disappointed with this souffle. It was dry and flavorless. I won't be making it again.

This souffle is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

This recipe was a disaster! The souffle didn't rise at all and it was really bland. I don't know what I did wrong.

This souffle was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use a little less cheese.

I'm not usually a fan of grits, but this souffle changed my mind. The combination of grits, cheese, and eggs was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.
