"Michael Sullivan, Butcher at Blackberry Farm, says this dish was inspired by a corn pudding that his grandmother made. He adds guanciale, an unsmoked Italian bacon made from the pig’s jowl, to the batter before baking, although thick-cut bacon is a great stand-in. When fresh corn is in season, you can fold in kernels cut from the cob; they lend wonderful texture and flavor. If you’d like, place a few whole green onions on top of the batter before baking.”
