Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons Cabot Salted Butter
• 1 cup chopped red or green bell pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup fresh corn kernels or frozen corn kernels, thawed

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Butter 2-quart casserole dish. (Alternatively, bake pudding in individual ramekins.)

3. In blender, combine corn and 1/4 cup of half-and-half. Process into thick puree, scraping down sides of container. Add remaining half-and-half, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Process until well combined.
4. Stir cheese into pepper mixture in baking dish. Pour half-and-half mixture over top.
5. Bake until pudding is set all the way to center (check with paring knife), 50 to 60 minutes. (If top of pudding is getting too brown, cover loosely with piece of foil). Serve immediately.
*Or vary the flavor with Cabot Habanero Cheddar, Tomato Basil Cheddar or Smoky Bacon Cheddar.
