Method

  1. Preheat the oven to Gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Grease a baking tin, about 25 x 33cm (10 x 13in), and sprinkle with 1 tbsp flour. Shake to remove the excess.
  2. In a frying pan heat 50g of the butter and sauté the onions until softened. Set aside. Cream the remaining butter and add to the cottage cheese, blending thoroughly. Add the Cheddar cheese and the onions. In another bowl combine the cornmeal, corn and milk, and mix thoroughly. Combine the corn mixture with the cheese mixture, blending thoroughly.
  3. Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks and beat the yolks separately. Combine the two and stir them into the cornmeal and cheese mixture. Pour the batter into the baking tin. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
