Stilton and Corn Souffle

1 1/2 cups whole milk

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

5 ounces grated Red Leicester, or farmhouse cheddar

2 ounces crumbled Stilton cheese

4 large egg yolks

1 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels

1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard or 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 large egg whites, at room temperature

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter and flour 1 large souffle dish.

 

Heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add the flour, whisking until smooth and creamy. Cook about 3 minutes, until the mixture turns straw colored. Whisking, pour in the hot milk, and whisk constantly over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.

 

Remove from the heat and stir in the cheeses, 4 egg yolks, corn, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside to cool 5 minutes. Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, and then fold into the souffle mixture in thirds with a rubber spatula.
