For a deliciously different breakfast or brunch, try this excellent quesadilla. It's also great for a light lunch or supper. Corn is a natural in Southwestern cooking and a tasty addition to this zippy egg dish. -Stacy Joura, Stoneboro, Pennsylvania

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 10 min.

Yield: 6-8 Servings

25 10 35

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
3 cups fresh or frozen corn
1 teaspoon minced chives
1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 eggs, lightly beaten
4 flour tortillas (10 inches)
1/2 cup salsa
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Additional salsa and sour cream, optional

Directions

In a large skillet, saute onion and green pepper in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the corn, chives, cilantro, salt and pepper. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir in eggs; cook until completely set, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
Place one tortilla on a lightly greased baking sheet or pizza pan; layer with a third of the corn mixture, salsa and sour cream. Sprinkle with a fourth of the cheeses. Repeat layers twice. Top with the remaining tortilla and cheeses.
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Cut into wedges. Serve with salsa and sour cream if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.

For some reason the stars are not showing up for me to give a rating, but it definitely deserves 5. This is a great dish, we have made it many times and it has become a favorite among the extended family as well. We have never actually used the salsa in it, but it would be good with or without. The only thing I would add to the recipe is that it does take a bit longer to bake than 10 minutes, but then we like ours a little crispy. Probably more like 25 min.
