- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced

- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the diced andouille sausage to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes or until browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving the fat in the skillet.
In the same skillet, add the fresh corn kernels, diced red and green bell peppers, and chopped jalapeño. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring well. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, beaten eggs, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Add the cooked sausage and sautéed vegetable mixture to the bowl with the cream mixture. Stir well to combine.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle this breadcrumb topping evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the casserole is bubbling and golden brown on top.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
