With canned corn, a few pantry staples, and a smoker to infuse that rich BBQ flavor, you’ve got yourself a side that might just upstage the main course.
How to Make Corn Soufflé with Jalapeño Seasoning
Preparation
Preheat your smoker to 350°F. Open and drain your cans of corn, then pour them into a smoker-safe dish or foil tray. Crack in the eggs and stir until fully incorporated. Add the shredded cheese, melted butter, heavy cream, and jalapeño seasoning. Mix everything together until smooth.
Cooking
Place the tray on the smoker uncovered. Let it cook for 45–60 minutes, or until the center is firm and no longer jiggles when shaken. If the top starts browning too quickly or the inside is slow to set, loosely cover with foil to protect the top and help it cook evenly.
Serving
Once the center is firm and the top is golden brown, pull it off the smoker. Serve hot, straight from the tray, using a spoon or spatula. This dish pairs beautifully with turkey, ham, or even BBQ brisket.
Best Beer to Pair With Corn Soufflé
Cream Ale
Its smooth body and light sweetness match the creamy texture of the soufflé and mellow out the jalapeño heat.
Hazy IPA
The juicy citrus notes in a hazy IPA contrast nicely with the richness of the soufflé while complementing the spice.
Wheat Beer
A slightly spicy wheat beer adds just enough brightness to lift the dish and keep each bite feeling fresh.
