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

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.

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.
