Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter a 2-quart souffle dish or shallow casserole.

  2. Step 2

    Combine the milk, butter, salt, chives and mustard in a heavy saucepan. Over a medium flame, heat to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, blending until smooth. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 1 minute while stirring. Remove from the heat, stir in the Parmesan and cool completely.

  3. Step 3

    In a bowl, beat the egg yolks until light. Stir into the cooled cornmeal mixture. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently but thoroughly fold the whites into the cornmeal mixture.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish. Bake for about 45 minutes, until just set. Serve hot, spooned directly from the dish onto the breakfast plate.
