How To Make Spoon Bread
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the scallions.
Pour the milk into a medium saucepan. Bring it up to a boil and then down to a simmer. Whisk in the cornmeal and salt and cook until it starts to thicken. Take it off the heat and stir in the remaining butter and wilted scallions.
Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. In a larger bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. When the cornmeal mixture has slightly cooled, stir in the egg yolks and cheese. To finish, gently fold in the egg whites.
Pour the mixture into your prepared dish and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve right away and enjoy!
