If there’s one thing I struggle with, it’s finding good side dishes to serve with a Mexican-style meal. My go-to is always Spanish Rice. Or sometimes I like to make a Mexican Chopped Salad. Mexican Corn is another good one. But I struggle with creativity beyond that. Enter this Mexican Cheese Souffle! It’s kind of like a Mexican corn pudding recipe. And it’s so good to serve with tacos and other Mexican favorites!
Ingredients needed:
yellow onion unsalted butter fresh jalapeño peppers garlic fresh corn salt and freshly ground black pepper shredded Monterey Jack cheese shredded sharp cheddar cheese extra large eggs milk
How to make a Mexican Cheese Soufflé:
The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Serve this Mexican Cheese Soufflé hot or at room temperature. To save time, use a couple of tablespoons of canned chopped chiles instead of fresh jalapeño. And use frozen corn in place of fresh corn.
It’s a supremely cheesy side dish. The eggs in the soufflé act as a binder to hold everything together.
This Mexican cheese soufflé would be a great dish to serve at a Mexican food themed brunch too. Think about breakfast tacos or enchiladas and this wonderful soufflé to go along with them. Such a delicious meal. Enjoy!
