• 1 cup skim milk

How to make Corn Tart and White Sauce:
To start preparing your corn pie and white sauce, start with this last ingredient. To do this, dissolve the cornstarch in the skim milk. Cook for 1 minute in the microwave, stir, and cook for an additional 30 seconds or until thickened. Rinse the corn kernels with water and mix them with the white sauce.
Tip: if you have fresh corn, cook it in boiling water for about 5 minutes or until the grains are very yellow and you can pierce them without effort. Break them down helping you with a knife.
On the other hand, chop and brown the onion with 1 teaspoon of oil. Once it’s golden, add 2 tablespoons of water and lower the heat to medium. When it evaporates, you can add 2 more tablespoons and repeat this process until it is as caramelized in its own sugars as you like.
Add the sautéed onion to the mixture of corn and white sauce. Season the filling with nutmeg, paprika and garlic. Taste it and correct the taste if necessary. Add the egg and mix well. Line a tart pan with the tart dough and fill it.
Cook your corn pie and white sauce in a hot oven (200 °C) for 20 minutes. Remove it and cover it with the cheeses. Cook it 10 more minutes on the oven rack so that it gratins. This step is optional, you could mix the cheeses with the preparation or not add them, but it will give it an incredible flavor, so we recommend it. Once au gratin, you can now serve and enjoy your corn pie and white sauce!
