When we think of food combinations, we don't usually think of corn, bacon, and onion together. While this combo may sound a little out of the ordinary, once you try this recipe you'll see why it works so well. It isn't hard to make this tart, so this is a recipe you can keep on hand for busy and stressful times.
Applewood-smoked bacon is our bacon of choice for this recipe. The flavor that this type of bacon has really helps make this dish shine. You'll ideally want fresh corn kernels for this recipe, but if you're unable to find fresh corn canned corn can work.
Using reduced-fat milk will help keep the calorie and fat content of this recipe down to reasonable levels. If you can find fresh Parmesan cheese, that's great. Fresh cheese is always better than packaged cheese. If you can't, or if you just don't have the time to, grate your own cheese, pre-grated cheese is fine.
