- Remove from heat and allow to cool for approximately 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Whisk eggs, salt and pepper. Mix into the cooled corn mixture.
- Pour mixture into greased ramekins or a shallow baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes (for ramekins), or 35-40 minutes (for baking dish), or until centre appears set.
- Garnish: For sweet - sprinkle sugar on each; For savory - place one basil leaf in the centre of each ramekin.
- Serve hot. Typically, sugar is set on the table for those that would like to add a little more to their pastelera as they eat through the sugar on top!
