Ingredients:

Serving

2 3/4 cups milk
2 tsp sugar
salt , to taste (optional)
fresh coarse ground black pepper , to taste
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
2 large egg yolks , lighly beaten
cooking spray
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
8 oz bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
4 large egg whites
sour cream, garnish (optional)
chopped chives, garnish (optional)
syrup (optional)
powdered sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Combine milk, sugar, and red pepper flakes, if using, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
When mixture begins to simmer, gradually add cornmeal in a slow steady stream, stirring well with a whisk.
Cool 3 minutes or until thickened and smooth, stirring constantly.
Transfer cornmeal mixture to a large bowl.
Add yolks; stirring with a whisk.
Let mixture stand 10 minutes.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Coat pan with cooking spray.
Add onion and saute 6-10 minutes or until tender.
Add onion and bacon to cornmeal mixture.
Stir cheeses into cornmeal mixture.
Add salt and pepper now.
Beat egg whites with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form (do not overbeat).
Gradually stir one-third of egg white mixture into cornmeal mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture.
Using a rubber spatula, scrape cornmeal mixture into 1-1/2 quart souffle or deep baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown, and just set in center.
DO NOT KEEP OPENING OVEN.
Serve immediately.
*Garnish with sour cream topped with chives or green onions chopped fine, to keep it savory.
**I know many eat spoon bread with sugar or syrup or sour cream with sugar - whatever one chooses I am sure - it will be delightful.
