Sweet Corn Pudding Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 tsp plus 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tbsp dried fine bread crumbs
- 4 ears fresh young corn 2 cups with milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1/2 cup chopped bacon

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Butter the bottom and sides of an 8 X 2-inch square (8 cups) casserole dish with 1 teaspoon of the butter. Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly on the bottom and sides of the dish.
- Cut the corn off the cobs by thinly slicing across the top of the kernels and then cutting across a second time to release the milk from the corn. Scrape the cob once or twice to extract any remaining milk. You should have about 2 cups of corn with milk.
- In a large skillet, Sauté the bacon for about 4 minutes or until slightly crisp. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to skillet over medium-heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook for about 3 minutes, or until slightly wilted. Add the corn, salt, cayenne and Cajun seasoning. Sauté for another 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Combine the cream, milk, and eggs in a mixing bowl. Beat with a wire whisk until the mixture is frothy. Add the remaining the black pepper, nutmeg, and cheese. Add this to the corn mixture and stir to mix well. Add the cornmeal and mix well.
- Pour into the casserole dish and bake for about 1 hour, or until golden.
