INSTRUCTIONS
In a preheated, 450-degree oven, place a whole large head of garlic directly on the rack and dry roast for 40 minutes. Remove garlic head and allow to cool for 1 hour. Turning garlic head on its side, slice in half to expose cloves. Carefully remove the soft meat of the cloves and turn out on a cutting board; chop into a paste. Reserve. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan. Add mushrooms. Cook 5 minutes on medium low heat. Add onion, corn, jalapeno, and roasted peppers. Cook slowly for 10 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs; add egg white. Beat thoroughly. Add buttermilk, 3/4 cup of the grated cheese, heavy cream, garlic paste, cilantro, and seasonings. Add cooked vegetable mixture. Mix well. To assemble: With remaining butter, thoroughly grease bottom and sides of an ovenproof oval or rectangular baking pan (9-inch-by-1-inch). Line bottom of pan with 3 corn tortillas all the way to the edges. Place half of the corn-mushroom mix over tortillas. Repeat layers. Top mixture with remaining grated cheese. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 35 minutes or until thoroughly set. Remove and allow to cool 15 minutes before unmolding to slice, or serve directly out of baking dish. Servings: 6 to 8 as a side dish. by chef Steven C.
