Easy Baked Corn

My husband absolutely loves corn. He asks for it all the time, but I rarely make it because it really doesn't have a lot of nutritional value and it is a starchy veggie, which I try to avoid most of the time. Once in a while I get an itch to cook it as a side dish for supper though. Here is a simple and tasty corn recipe that goes well with just about any main dish.

Easy Baked Corn
Serves: 4-6 servings
Adapted by: http://cyndisrecipes.blogspot.com/2006/08/easy-baked-corn.html

Ingredients:
1 15oz can cream style corn
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 egg, beaten or eggbeater equivalent - I use eggbeaters, which is 1/4 cup
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup skim milk
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon light butter, cut in small pieces

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-In a small bowl, combine cornstarch, egg, sugar, milk, salt and pepper. Add creamed corn and mix thoroughly.
-In a small baking dish, spray with nonstick cooking spray, and pour corn mixture into the dish. Top the dish off with your pieces of butter.
-Bake until thick and slightly brown, which will be about 25 minutes or so.

Enjoy! :)
