Corn Scallop
- Yield 8 servings
"I live in a tiny rural New Mexico community. It is not unusual to see large corn fields in the fall, so this dish blends in with the season and our lifestyle."

- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups coarsely crushed saltine crackers
- 1 (12-ounce) package diced pepper Jack or Swiss cheese
Instructions
