SWEETCORN PIE
A very tasty side dish, that kids of all ages adore. My nephew, who is 33 years old still asks me to make this dish whenever he sees me, after he tasted it for the first time when he was 11 years old! I think I found this recipe in a South African magazine, but I cannot remember as I have been making this for the past 30 years! ***I have updated the recipe - most of the cheese goes into the pie and a little is sprinkled over the top. I have also added microwave instructions for making white sauce

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH CORN PIE
This is my mom's corn pie. We grew up eating this and loving it in the heart of Amish country. It is a very hearty dish, and easy to make. Give this one a try before you decide you won't like it. Corn takes on a whole different flavor made this way. Some people add cooked chicken to the pie as well.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the potato, whole kernel corn, creamed corn, hard cooked eggs, salt, pepper and milk. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Press one of the pie crusts in to the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate. I like to use clear glass so I can check the bottom crust for doneness. Pour the hot filling into the crust. Dot with pieces of butter. Cover with the top crust, and flute the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to vent steam. Place on a cookie sheet that has been lined with aluminum foil for easy clean up.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is browned. Serve hot.

Tips:
- Use fresh sweet corn: Fresh sweet corn has the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh sweet corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Don't overcook the corn: Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. Cook the corn just until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Different cheeses will give your pie a different flavor and texture. Try using a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
- Add some herbs or spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of your pie. Try adding some basil, oregano, thyme, or paprika.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a sweet corn pie. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors until you find a recipe that you love.
- Don't forget the sour cream: Sour cream is the perfect topping for a sweet corn pie. It adds a creamy, tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the corn.
Conclusion:
Sweet corn pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover corn. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a sweet corn pie that you'll love.
