Corn and Veggie Spoon Bread

Corn and Veggie Spoon Bread
Serve this creamy side dish for Thanksgiving this year. I had forgotten about this wonderful spoon bread. It's a soft corn bread with vegetables, like having two side dished in one. I adapted this recipe to make it a bit healthier, it's from an old magazine clipping from 1996 of a Better Homes and Garden Recipe winner, Georgette Tomlinson. 

1 cup fresh corn (frozen corn works too)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper (any color is fine)
1/2 cup water
1 cup chopped zucchini (about 1 medium size)
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (3 ounces)
1/2 cup corn meal (masa harina will work as a substitute)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a casserole or souffle dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the corn, onion, bell pepper and water to a boil. 
  3. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Set aside, do not drain.
  4. Add the zucchini, cheese and corn meal, stirring well
  5. In a small bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
  6. Pour egg mixture and ground red pepper into the vegetable mixture. 
  7. Pour mixture into prepared dish and bake for about 40-45 minutes. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
