Corn and Polenta Bake

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

4 ears of Fresh Corn or 2 cups Frozen Corn
2 tablespoons Cooking Oil
1 cup chopped Green Sweet Pepper
1/2 cup chopped Onion
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
2 (16 ounces) tubes refrigerated Cooked Polenta
6 Eggs, slightly beaten
1 Tablespoon Dijon-Style Mustard
1 teaspoon Sugar
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 cups Soft Bread Crumbs (2 slices)
2 Tablespoons Butter, melted

 
   
Preparation:  
   

Lightly grease a 2-quart rectangular baking dish; set aside. If using fresh corn, cut kernels from ears (you should have about 2 cups). In a large saucepan, heat oil. Cook corn, sweet pepper, onion, garlic, and black pepper in hot oil about 5 minutes or until just tender. Crumble the polenta (you should have about 7 cups); set aside. In a large bowl, combine eggs, mustard, sugar, and salt. Stir in the cooked vegetable mixture and the crumbled polenta. Spoon mixture into the prepared dish. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle over top of polenta mixture. Bake in a 325 degree F. about 50 minutes or until knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Makes 12 servings.
