Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°. Coat a 2-qt. baking dish with nonstick spray.
Boil water in a large saucepan. Add grits to boiling water in a steady stream, whisking constantly; reduce heat to low. Simmer grits, stirring often, until thick and creamy, ⏰ 15–20 minutes.
Off heat, stir in cream, corn, Cheddar, Parmesan, scallions, egg yolks, salt, and cayenne. Transfer grits to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature, stirring often to prevent a skin from forming.
Beat egg whites to medium peaks. Stir a third of the whites into the grits, then gently fold in remaining whites in two batches.
Pour batter into prepared dish and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, ⏰ 45 minutes. Serve soufflé immediately.
