BAKED HOMINY WITH CHEESE
The taste and texture of this dish is subtle and unusual but my BF and I think it's absolutely delicious. My apologies if you haven't found this as appealing as we do. The recipe comes from a fantastic cookbook of the midwestern region (of the U.S.) called "Hollyhocks and Radishes." The original ingredients call for 2 cups cream instead of milk and twice the butter, so if you don't mind the extra fat, go ahead. I also like to add more horseradish, at least 1 tablespoon. In my area hominy can be found in the mexican foods section of the supermarket.

Tips:
- Choose the right hominy. Canned hominy is a convenient option, but dried hominy offers a more intense flavor. If using dried hominy, be sure to soak it overnight before cooking.
- Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. A sharp cheddar cheese will give you a bold flavor, while a milder cheese, such as mozzarella, will produce a more subtle flavor.
- Don't overcook the hominy. Hominy is a delicate grain, and it can easily become mushy if overcooked. Be sure to cook it just until it is tender.
- Add your favorite toppings. Baked hominy and cheese is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Try adding diced tomatoes, onions, peppers, or cooked bacon.
Conclusion:
Baked hominy and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
