Ingredients

2 Onions

1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese (grated)

1 teaspoon Mustard Powder

1/2 cup Corn Kernels

1 tablespoon Butter

1 1/2 tablespoon Flour

1 cup Milk

1 Egg (beaten)

Directions

Make or buy a pastry crust for a 9 inch (22 cm) pie pan.

Chop the onion. Melt in the butter in a medium-sized saucepan, then fry the onion for about 10 minutes at medium heat. Stir in the mustard and flour, then stir in the milk and simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the cheese and remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

Stir in the egg and the corn. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and cook until it is golden and set -- somewhere between 1/2 an hour and 40 minutes.

Comments

Corn kernels can be frozen or tinned. If frozen, thaw first (either by taking out ahead of time, giving them a quick zap in the microwave, or in a bowl of water well drained afterward).

You can use butter or oil to fry the onion in.
