Corn Souffle

naptime4julie's Note:

My favorite holiday recipe! I have started making it during the year because twice a year isn't enough for me! I even have my mother in law requesting it for family dinners!! The final product is impressive- just don't let them know how easy it really is! This is also really good the next day (if you have any leftovers). My dad puts a scoop of leftover corn souffle in his eggs! He swears by it but I'll just take his word for it!

Wonderful! This is a keeper I used 3 eggs. I wish I had added a little salt. I didn't have any pimientos so I used a small can of chopped green chilis, and I didn't have a bell pepper so I used a poblano. I added handful of chopped fresh parsley and about a 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper. I used Vermont white cheddar, but I would have used Pepper Jack if I had had it on hand. I baked it in a clear casserole (pretty!) Yum!
