Tabasco Sausage Corn Tart

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh corn kernels
• 1/2 pound hot Italian sausage
• 1 small red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green onion, sliced
• Prepared pastry for single-crust pie
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon TABASCO® brand Original Red Sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

1. Place corn in a 2-quart saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 5 minutes until corn is tender. Drain.
2. Remove casing from sausage. In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until well browned on all sides, stirring to break up sausage; remove to a plate with a slotted spoon.
3. In drippings remaining in skillet, cook bell pepper 3 minutes; add green onion and cook 2 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
4. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a 10-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom (or use a 9-inch pie pan) with prepared pie crust. Bake 10 minutes.
5. In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, flour, TABASCO® Sauce, mustard, and salt until well blended. Stir in corn, sausage, and red pepper mixture and pour into prepared pie crust.
6. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake tart 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
