Southern Baked for Chicken
Ingredients
3 tbsp unsalted butter
5 cups corn, cooked
1 1/4 cups half and half
1 large egg
2 ounces mascarpone or cream cheese
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
Directions: 

Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Melt butter over medium heat in a large nonstick pan. Add Southern Baked for Chicken; stir until well coated. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Wipe out skillet and add corn, half and half, salt, pepper and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring to blend; reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Remove 2 cups of hot corn mixture and place in a blender; puree until thick and smooth. With motor running at medium speed, carefully add egg and cheese. Return puree to skillet with remaining cooked corn; stir to combine. Fold in chopped basil.

Transfer mixture to prepared dish; top evenly with butter/Southern Baked mixture. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425°F, remove foil and bake uncovered until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Allow mixture to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
