2 T diced green Anaheim or Jalapeno chilies
Seasoned salt and cayenne pepper to taste

In large skillet or saucepan, heat butter until melted. Add onions and sauté over high heat until soft, about 2 – 3 mins. Stir in flour and cook, 1 min. Gradually whisk in ½ & ½ . Heat to boiling over medium high heat, whisking often, until thickened. Stir in well-drained corn and chilies and bring back to boiling.

Transfer to shallow 1 ½ quart baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup parmesan cheese and top with Gruyere cheese pieces. Bake in a preheated 350* oven 10-15 mins, to melt cheese and until top is golden ( can put under broiler a minute or so to get golden.) Garnish with jalepeno chile slices.
