Ingredients

    Non-stick cooking spray
    3 tablespoons butter, softened
    3 large egg whites
    1 (8-ounce) block fat-free cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup finely chopped onion
    1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
    1 (15 ¼ -ounce) can whole-kernel corn, drained
    1 (14 ¾ -ounce) can cream-style corn
    1 can (7-ounce) green chiles, drained
    1 (8 ½ -ounce) package corn muffin mix
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    2 teaspoons chili powder
    2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
    1 scant teaspoon cumin
    Grated sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine butter, egg whites, and cream cheese and whisk until smooth. Stir in onion, bell pepper, whole-kernel corn, green chiles, and cream-style corn; mix well.

Add muffin mix and spices, stirring until well combined. Pour into prepared baking dish.

Bake for 50 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. To garnish with the cheese, wait until the surface forms a crust, about 40 minutes. Cover with a light layer. It will create a divine crust with a vague, cheesy flavor.

Serves 6.
