Corn Comfort

This scrumptious South-Western side dish is based on a recipe from Julee Rosso's Great Good Food. I use Julee's recipe as a starting point and then add a variety of variations, depending on what I have in the fridge. I always hit the cheese a little harder than Julee does, and thus I deviate from her low-fat approach. I'm just not a big fan of low-fat. Whichever approach you take, low-fat or extra cheesy, this corn custard is a great accompaniment to everything from roast chicken to steak to tacos. Best of all, it takes about 10 minutes of preparation time if you use a food processor.

Tasty variations

While these simple corn custards stand on their own, there are lots of ways to vary the dish. Try adding chopped oven-roasted tomatoes or grilled red peppers, grilled Monterrey Farms artichoke hearts, some cooked pancetta or bacon, cubes of cooked potato, or a bit of fresh rosemary or chives. Experiment with the cheese and use blue cheese, feta or goat.  You really can't go wrong.

    I made this is one big casserole dish which took a little adjusting in heat and timing but I loved it…great flavors and different side for many dishes. Be careful with the jalapenos in the eyes!!!

      A agree on the jalapeños, they can be ornery. Watch for an upcoming blog post on how to handle jalapeños!
