Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 11/2-quart baking dish and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and shallots and cook 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika, dry mustard, cayenne and black pepper. Set aside. In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolk and set aside.

- Slowly stir 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk. Add the egg mixture and the corn into the skillet, stirring to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and top evenly with the breadcrumbs.
- Bake 25 to 28 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes before serving warm.
