I did half the recipe cause I got only a small leftover of frozen corn. I know it was fresh corn that was needed, but I took the chance with frozen and it worked for me. I used skim milk and smoked gouda cheese. I omitted the cilantro cause I don't like it. They're very tasty. Thanks Seesko. Made for Photo tag.
