Corn Maque Choux - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 tablespoons butter
    1/4 cup oil
    7 cups frozen corn
    1 cup finely chopped onion
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon pepper
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
    2 1/4 cups chicken stock (I use canned stock)
    4 tablespoons butter
    1 cup evaporated milk
    2 eggs
Preparation
    Using high heat combine 4 T butter, oil, onions, sugar, pepper, salt, cayenne, and corn in a large skillet or frying pan. Cook until corn is tender and starch forms a crust on the pan bottom, about 14 to 16 minutes. Stir occasionally and stir more as it starts to stick.
    Gradually add 1 C of the stock, scraping the pan bottom and continue cooking 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    Add 4 T butter and stir. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping pan bottom.
    Reduce heat to low and cook 8-10 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add 1/4 C stock and cook 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the remaining 1 C stock and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    Stir in 1/2 C evaporated milk and continue to cook and stir until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
    In a bowl, combine eggs and the remaining 1/2 C evaporated milk. Beat until frothy. Stir into the corn and serve. Heat from the corn will cook the eggs, but will not curdle.
