These delicious corn croquettes are baked like muffins instead of fried. They can be served with butter, but my family prefers salsa as an accompaniment. —Karen Kuebler, Dallas, Texas

Ingredients

3 cups fresh corn, divided
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup 2% milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Sour cream and minced chives

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Place 2 cups corn kernels in a food processor; process until pureed. Transfer pureed corn to a large bowl; whisk in cornmeal, milk, sugar, remaining corn and, if desired, cinnamon until blended. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and eggs until pale yellow and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Fold in cheddar cheese. Stir in corn mixture.
Fill greased mini-muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 8-10 minutes. Serve warm; top with sour cream and chives.

These came out very bad, bland, took a long time to set in the oven. Also, the recipe states that it yields 5 1/2 dozen? Perhaps in a very, very mini muffin pan- for which the recipe never stated on the pan size. I got 12 in a regular muffin pan.
