- Remove from heat; add cheese, stirring until melted. Scrape into large bowl. Stir in onions; whisk in egg yolks.
- In seperate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff but not dry peaks have formed; fold one-third into cornmeal mixture. Gently fold in remaining whites. Scrape into prepared souffle dish.
- Place on middle rack of oven; reduce heat to 400.
- Bake until puffed and brown, 35-40 minutes.
