Loved this spoonbread -- it was a definite hit at our house tonight! I did make one mistake though -- I used cream corn vs. whole kernel corn so I increased the cornmeal and parmesan a little bit to make up for it and it turned out just perfect. Instead of 4 ramekins -- I used two large ones (had a little left over) and cooked it a little longer. They make a great presentation with the chopped tomato and chives.
