Used the recipe as written more for inspiration guide than following it as gospel as I had 2C extra of my first prep of Rancho Gordo green (baby?) limas and other things on hand to use up. As a result, used a little less corn than specified and added in some small diced roasted red bell pepper. Also less half & half, used what I had, and white cheddar that needed using up instead of jack for the cheese. Bake time was about 35 minutes. All good for a chilly and rainy May day meal.

This turned out to be a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I will make it again, perhaps adding more half-and-half and/or egg.
