Instructions
Butter an 8-by-12-inch baking dish or another shallow baking dish of about the same size. In a medium nonstick frying pan, melt the butter over moderately low heat.
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the ham, salt, and black pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, combine the corn and half-and-half in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
Add the eggs, sugar, and cayenne. Blend thoroughly.
Spoon the bell-pepper mixture into the prepared baking dish and then sprinkle the Monterey jack over the top.
Pour the egg mixture over all.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pudding comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
Variations:: Omit the ham for a meatless version, or replace it with crumbled cooked chorizo for a spicier pudding.
Wine Recommendation: Look for a gentle and fruity merlot from Chile. These wines have the wonderful soft texture and ripe-berry flavors one expects from merlot, along with somewhat earthy undertones that will marry nicely with the corn.
