Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Corn Custard, recipe follows
1 to 2 leeks, green part only reserving the white for other uses, blanched and cut in-half lengthwise
2 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
3 zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
3 tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 eggplant, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
3 yellow squash, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
Roasted red peppers
Spinach leaves
4 cups raw corn, cut from the cob
8 eggs
4 cups cream
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare 1 batch of corn custard and set aside. Dry roast all the vegetable rounds until wrinkly, but not too brown. Let cool. Meanwhile, spray 8 souffle dishes with pan coating. Line the edges of the dishes with the leeks horizontally. Arrange 3 to 4 carrot rounds on the bottom of each dish making a "flower." Follow layers in this order: zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant, yellow squash, and red peppers. Place the rounds in concentric circles fully covering the previous layer.
  • Ladle the corn custard over the entire timbale. Once the custard is up to the lip, cover with spinach leaves. Press the leaves lightly into the custard to coat.
  • Cover with foil and bake until the custards reach a temperature of 150 degrees F.
  • Put corn in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, just enough to blend and add to the corn. Add the remaining ingredients and blend. Pour over timbales and bake.
