Como fazer Mexican Cheese Grits Souffle
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 1.5-quart souffle dish.
- In a medium saucepan, bring water and milk to a boil. Slowly whisk in grits and reduce heat to low.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until grits are tender and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
- Stir in butter, salt, pepper, and half of the cheese until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in jalapeños (or green chiles) and cilantro (if using).
- In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks until light and frothy.
- Gradually whisk the egg yolks into the grit mixture until well combined.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the grit mixture to lighten it.
- Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Stir in the remaining cheese.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared souffle dish.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the souffle is puffed and golden brown.
- Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
