Growing up in New Orleans, creamy grits always made it to the table at Chef Nini Nguyen’s family gatherings. Nini puts a fluffy twist on her brother’s buttery original by folding them into whipped egg whites. The result? A cloudlike soufflé, with a doubly rich cheesiness thanks to not one, but two umami-packed cheeses. Nini’s go-to cocktail pairing for her soufflés: bubbly, citrusy Old-Fashioned Highballs starring Maker’s Mark 46® bourbon. This video is made in partnership with Maker’s Mark®.
