Cape Cod Corn Pudding
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 5 cups frozen corn (about 24 ounces)

- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°. In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add corn and onion; cook and stir until onion is crisp-tender, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, ricotta cheese, cornmeal, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir in 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, corn mixture and, if desired, basil.
