This Corn Soufflé or Corn casserole from scratch is made with canned corn, basil, ricotta, and basil.   It is indeed one of our favorite Holiday Recipes.   My daughter even brings it a step up and buys fresh corn on the cob, roasts it and adds the fresh corn. We hope you love this recipe and try it during this holiday season.   But it’s also a delicious year-round side dish.   Especially when fresh basil is abundant in the garden, we substitute fresh for dried and add a little on top for garnish.
