Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or canned corn (drained if canned)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour or cornmeal (for gluten-free use almond flour or gluten-free flour blend)
- 1/2 cup sour cream or cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, honey, and sour cream until the mixture is smooth and light in texture.
- Add the Dry Ingredients and Corn: Gently fold in the flour (or cornmeal), salt, pepper, and the fresh or canned corn. Stir just enough to combine without losing the integrity of the corn’s texture.
- Pour and Bake: Transfer the mixture evenly into the greased casserole dish. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for about 10 minutes after baking to firm up, then serve warm for optimal comfort and flavor.
Notes
- Fresh corn offers a sweeter, crunchier texture, but canned corn is a convenient alternative.
- Adjust honey quantity to control sweetness according to your preference.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light, textured casserole.
- Using room temperature ingredients helps the mixture blend smoothly for consistent baking.
- Letting the casserole rest after baking makes slicing and serving easier.
