Puffy Corn Omelette

Ingredients for Puffy Corn Omelette

• 3 ears of corn, husked

• 4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1/2 colher de chá de sal

• 1/4 colher de chá de pimenta preta

• 4 ovos grandes, separados

• 1 colher de sopa de cebolinha fresca finamente picada

Coloque a grade do forno na posição do meio e pré-aqueça o forno a 177°C.

Add corn to a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water , then remove from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Drain and, when cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs with a sharp knife into a bowl, then scrape cobs over bowl to extract "milk."

Melt butter in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet (preferably lightweight) and remove skillet from heat, then transfer 45ml melted butter to bowl with corn (leaving remaining butter in skillet to cool). Toss corn to coat and stir in 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/8 teaspoons pepper.

Whisk egg yolks with remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/8 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl until combined. Beat whites with a pinch of salt in another bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed until they just hold stiff peaks. Fold one third of whites into yolks to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Gently fold in corn mixture.

Spoon mixture into skillet and bake until pale golden and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Loosen omelette with a heatproof rubber spatula and slide onto a plate. Serve sprinkled with chives.

If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows:

Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds

Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds

Low: 5 to 6 seconds

If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.
