3 tablespoons butter, divided |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper |
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper |
2 1/2 cups milk |
1 cup yellow cornmeal |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese |
4 eggs, separated |

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease 1 1/2 quart souffle dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle bottom and side of dish with Parmesan cheese.
3. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in medium heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and bell peppers, cook 5 to 7 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Transfer mixture to small bowl, set aside.
4. Combine milk, cornmeal and salt in same saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cook and stir 5 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Stir in Cheddar cheese until cheese is melted. Stir in onion mixture.
5. Beat egg whites in clean large bowl with electric mixer at high speed until stiff but not dry, set aside.
