Zucchini & Corn Souffle

2 medium zucchini (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 1/2 tsp. salt
6 eggs, separated
2 medium ears corn, shucked
2 green onions, chopped
6 Tbsp. butter
6 Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Shred zucchini and place in a colander over a plate or in the sink; toss with 1 tsp. salt. Let stand 30 minutes. Rinse, drain, and blot dry. Separate eggs and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Boil corn, covered, 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Let cool slightly and cut corn from cobs. Cook onions and zucchini in butter, stirring, until tender. Stir in flour, pepper, and remaining salt until blended. Gradually stir in milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook 1-2 minutes, until sauce thickens. Add to corn and stir in cheese. Stir a small amount of zucchini mixture into egg yolks to temper; return all to bowl, stirring constantly. Allow to cool slightly. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gently stir a fourth of the egg whites into zucchini mixture, then fold in remaining egg whites. Transfer to a greased and floured 2 1/2-qt. souffle dish. Bake at 350F 45-50 minutes, until top is puffed and center appears set.
