melted. Stir in the flour, sugar, cumin, nutmeg, and red pepper. Cook
over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and
bubbly. Stir in the milk, heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and
stir for 1 minute. Beat the egg yolks slightly in a medium bowl. Stir at
least half of the hot mixture gradually into the egg yolks. Stir the hot
mixture back into the saucepan. Boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from
the heat and stir in the onion, chiles, and corn. Beat the egg whites in
another medium bowl on high speed, on an electric mixer, until stiff.
Stir about 1/4 of the egg whites into the corn mixture. Fold the corn
mixture into the remaining egg whites. Carefully pour the mixture into
the souffle dish. Bake uncovered until a knife inserted in the center
comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Prepare the Green Chile Cheese Sauce.
Serve the souffle with the sauce when souffle is done.
