Corn on the Cob

Ingredients

8 ears fresh corn, husks and silk removed

1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

3/4 tsp poultry seasoning

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Rub the softened butter completely over the surface of each ear of corn. Combine the salt, pepper and poultry seasoning, and evenly over the buttered surface of each ear.

Wrap each ear in a piece of wax paper, followed by a piece of aluminum foil. Place the wrapped corn on a baking sheet, large enough so that the ears of corn are not touching each other. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn over each ear and bake for 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and keep wrapped until ready to serve.

Yield: 8 servings

Pastel de Huevo

OK, so it’s a quiche. But “Mexican Quiche” just didn’t sound right. I’ve already thrown in an Italian version in this book. I don’t want to do even more to insult the Francophiles. So, we’ll just call it an egg pie. If you have a Mexican market nearby, purchase your chorizo there (unless you make your own). Substitute queso cotija or queso chihuahua for a little more depth in the flavor profile. Leftover salsa can be used for a topping on scrambled eggs or a dip with chips later in the day.

Baked Potato Quiche

I call this recipe “Comfort quiche.” It’s perfect for a cold December evening. The great thing about quiche is that it can be prepared in advance and held cold in the refrigerator or frozen up to a couple of weeks. When the holidays are hectic and the house is crowded, this quiche is perfect as a lap meal in front of the fireplace served alongside a light salad.
