Makes about 6 servings. TOPPING: In a saucepan, scald ½ cup milk with butter. Cool. In another saucepan, beat egg yolks until blended; beat in remaining ½ cup milk, flour & salt. Cook over low heat, stirring, until thickened. Remove from heat. Slowly add cooled scalded milk, whisking well; gently stir in cheese, ground chile & corn.
