  • “very good and made a nice quick supper, we loved the corn in it , something a little different. I had some cherry tomatoes to use up so I placed them around the top for a little colour.I will be making it again , thanks for posting.”

  • “I used Olive oil instead of butter, and eggbeaters instead of egg whites.I LOVED this recipe.I made it for a brunch and got rave reviews.It was beautiful and very flavorful.I would make this even if I wasn’t on Weight Watchers.”

  • “Always looking for new ways to liven up my eggbeaters but until now never considered corn. I ommitted the butter and cooked the vegetables with a bit of olive oil. Replaced the eggs with eggbeaters as well.The results were delicious. Served with grated cheddar cheese on the side for those inclined. “
