If using corn on the cob, preheat your oven to 425 degrees and peel just the loose outer layers of the husk off the corn, leaving a few layers.  Place on a baking sheet and roast 40 minutes. When cool enough to handle and cut the corn off the cob.

  3. Lightlybeat the 2 eggs with the salt and pour over the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Add 2 cups of grated cheese and mix well.
  5. Pour into the casserole dish, pack down lightly and place in the oven for 35 minutes until lightly golden on top.
  6. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and return to the oven for 5-7 minutes until melted.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool for just a few minutes before serving.
