Ingredients

  • 6 or more ears of corn, kernels cut from the cob
  • 1 cup (225 ml) whole milk or half and half
  • 3 beefsteak tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick (or equivelant Romas etc.)
  • seasoned bread crumbs for topping, about 1-1/2 cups (350 ml) or so
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • sugar to taste mixed with milk or half and half
  • dill
  • basil
  • parmesan cheese

Method

  • In an ovenproof greased casserole dish, lay the shucked corn kernels on the bottom.
  • Next, carefully pour the milk or half and half over the corn so the combine layer is settled and more or less, even, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange the tomato slices on top of the milk and corn.
  • (You can use spings of fresh herbs of your choice to make a pretty design, dill or basil are very nice).
  • Sprinkle on seasoned (and buttered if you like) bread crumbs all over the top of the tomato layer.
  • The addition of parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs is nice too if you like.
  • Bake uncovered for about 30 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees (175 C.).
  • The bread crumbs will be browned and the tomato corn mixutre will bubble and thicken.
  • Serve hot or warm for a great dish, it tastes very good cold too.
