Corn Pudding Souffle
"Good hot or cold! This corn casserole side dish is a cross between corn bread and pudding. It's moist and sweet and similar in texture to a spoon bread. I prefer this to traditional corn pudding as it is a bit firmer so you can slice it and it holds up well for a buffet supper. Another favorite way to enjoy it is to caramelize whole seeded plum tomatoes in a little bacon fat and serve those on top of a wedge of the corn pudding bread with a little bacon on the side."

I'm a real fan of corn pudding & always enjoy making a new version! This one is no exception & the recipe makes A GREAT TASTING FROM-SCRATCH CORN DISH! The only changes I made here were to use frozen corn (thawed) & to bake the souffle in an 8-inch square baking dish for about 43 minutes!

Light, fluffy, easy & delicious! A great way to use up leftover corn-on-the-cob! This will become part of my regular menu!

<p>I love to cook for myself, my neighbors and family--even my dogs and cats. I like quick recipes for weekdays, and save the more complicated things for weekends. I also love to bake, although I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I have chickens in my backyard, so I'm always looking for ways to use up all those organic blue and brown eggs. I'm always up for anything hot and spicy and I love nearly all cuisines, especially Vietnamese and Italian. Houston is known for being overrun with excellent restaurants. Lucky me!</p>
<p>These days, I'm mostly eating raw vegan. </p>
