    List of Ingredients




    -1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    -3 tablespoons dried fine breadcrumbs
    -4 ears of fresh corn
    -2 teaspoons salt
    -1/4 teaspoon cayenne
    -1/2 cup chopped bacon, or ham
    -1 cup chopped onions
    -1/2 cup chopped green or red bell peppers
    -1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)
    -2 cups heavy cream
    -1 cup milk
    -6 large eggs
    -1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    -1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
    -1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
    -1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

    Recipe



    -Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
    -Butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square casserole dish with 1 teaspoon of the butter.
    -Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly on the bottom and sides of the dish, and set aside.

    -Cut the corn off the cobs by thinly slicing across the top of the kernels and then cutting across a second time to release the milk from the corn. (There may not be any milk, but that is okay.)
    -Scrape the cob once or twice to extract any remaining milk.
    -You should have about 2 cups of corn with milk.

    -Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    -Add the corn, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the cayenne.
    -Sauté for 2 minutes.
    -Add the bacon and sauté for about 4 minutes, or until slightly crisp.
    -Add the onions and bell peppers and cook for 3 minutes, or until slightly wilted.
    -Add the garlic (optional), and cook for 1 minute.
    -Remove from the heat.

    -Combine the cream, milk, and eggs in a mixing bowl, and beat with a wire whisk until the mixture is frothy.
    -Add the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, the black pepper, nutmeg, and cheese.
    -Add to the corn mixture and mix well.
    -Add the cornmeal and mix well.
    -Pour into the prepared dish and bake for about 1 hour, or until golden.

    **Serve immediately.
