4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 ears corn
4 eggs
2 egg whites -- lightly beaten

Directions

1 c 1% lowfat milk

1½ c cottage cheese -- cream in : processor

½ c grated Monterey Jack cheese ½ c grated Cheddar cheese -- or : Colby

: with

: eggs

1 md red onion -- chopped (1

: cup)

2 TB chopped chile peppers

⅓ c cornmeal mix -- or

: self-rising

: cornmeal

1 TB chopped fresh cilantro

: Salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 1 ½-quart souffle dish.

Cook the corn in the husk for 2 minutes on high in a microwave oven.

Cool a minute or two, then remove the husk. Alternately, place the shucked corn in a large quantity of boiling water until done, about 5 minutes. Using a sharp knife, cut the corn off the cob, then scrape down the cob with the back of the knife to get the "milk" out.

Combine the corn, milk, cottage cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, eggs, onion, chile peppers, cornmeal mix, and cilantro.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. The pudding can be refrigerated for 4 hours at this point.

Pour the mixture into the prepared souffle dish. Place a damp kitchen towel in a baking pan. Place the souffle dish on the towel and add enough hot water to the pan to reach two-thirds of the way up the sides of the dish. Bake for 1 hour or until the pudding is lightly browned and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serve hot.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
