Instructions
Generously butter a 2 1/2- to 3-quart souffl dish or six 1 1/2- to 2-cup souffl dishes. If using small dishes, set them about 2 inches apart in a 10- by 15-inch baking pan.
In a 2- to 3-quart pan over medium heat, melt butter.
Add flour and stir until mixture is smooth and bubbling. Stir in milk, tarragon, and salt, and continue stirring until sauce boils and thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add corn and dried tomatoes and stir until hot, about 1 minute.
Add parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
Add egg yolks and stir until mixture is blended and smooth.
In a bowl, with a mixer on high speed, beat egg whites (use whisk attachment if available) with cream of tartar until short, stiff, moist peaks form. With a flexible spatula, fold a third of the cheese sauce into whites until well blended.
Add remaining sauce and gently fold in just until blended.
Scrape batter into prepared souffl dish (or dishes). If higher than 3/4 full, use a foil collar (see "Crowning Glory" below). If desired, draw a circle on the surface of the souffl batter with the tip of a knife, about 1 inch in from rim, to help an attractive crown form during baking.
Bake large souffl in a 350 regular or 325 convection oven until top is golden to deep brown and cracks look fairly dry, 35 to 40 minutes.
Bake small souffls in a 375 regular or convection oven, 20 to 25 minutes.
Serve immediately, scooping portions from single souffl with a large spoon. Pass the shrimp-onion relish to spoon over each serving as desired.
Souffls look most impressive when they rise dramatically over the rim of the dish. To create a beautiful crown on your souffl, fill the dish about 3/4 full. If it's less full, the souffl may not rise over the rim. If it's more full, the souffl may spill over unless you wrap the dish with a foil collar. Here's how to make one.
Cut a 15-inch-wide sheet of foil 4 inches longer than circumference of dish; fold lengthwise in thirds. Coat one side of the foil strip generously with melted butter, using a pastry brush. Wrap the foil around outside of dish so that at least 2 inches of foil extend above the rim. Fold the ends of the buttered foil strip over several times until snug against dish.
