Brown Butter has a nutty flavor and is my all-time favorite savory ingredient. Your friends and family will go crazy over this brown butter cornbread soufflé this holiday season.  The secret to light and fluffy cornbread casserole is using extra eggs!

Cornbread Soufflé always makes an appearance at my family’s holiday table. It is one of my all-time favorite side dishes!   Brown Butter ( Buerre Noisette) is a classic French staple in the kitchen. Brown Butter is melted butter with accelerated flavor, can be made in less than 10 minutes, and has a nutty and bold flavor.

The secret to making your cornbread soufflé light and fluffy is using more eggs than you otherwise would when making regular cornbread.   Instead of using 1-2 eggs as you would in many cornbread casserole recipes, I used four eggs. This makes the cornbread casserole rise more and makes it super fluffy.

I didn’t just use any eggs in this recipe. I used Eggland’s Best. England’s best produces superior nutrition when compared to ordinary eggs. Eggland’s Best eggs contain more than double the omega 3’s, 6 x the amount of vitamin D, and more than double vitamin B12, all while only containing 60 calories per egg and 25% less saturated fat. You get the bang for your buck when you buy Egglands Best.

What is the Brown Specs in Brown Butter? 

The brown specs in brown butter are toasted milk solids. They’re where most of the flavor in brown butter comes from, so make sure you scrape them out of the pan!

Can you make this cornbread soufflé in a cast iron skillet?  

Yes! If you have a large cast Iron skillet pan, that will work with this recipe. You may consider cutting the recipe in half if you have a smaller cast iron skillet. Using a smaller skillet, you may have to estimate the cooking time.
