Creamy Corn Casserole
Call it corn souffle, corn casserole or corn pudding, this fresh corn, creamy yogurt, with a bite of serrano is sure to be a dinner favorite.
Seems when we have corn on the cob, I usually have a few ears left over. And, being the thrifty prudent no waste whatsoever person I am, I could not bear to throw out those ears of corn. That's how this serrano corn soufflé or creamed corn casserole or corn pudding came about. After cutting the corn off the cobs, I had about one and half cups of succulent fresh corn kernels.
