Description

This Corn Casserole is a delightful blend of creamy, sweet corn and buttery goodness, baked to a golden perfection. Each bite offers a comforting texture, with a slight crunch on top and a rich, velvety interior that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Corn: 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels
Eggs: 2 large eggs, beaten
Milk: 1 cup of whole milk
Butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick), melted
Cornmeal: 1 cup
Sugar: 1/4 cup
Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon
Salt: 1 teaspoon
Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup, shredded (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, beaten eggs, and milk until well blended.
Add the corn, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the mixture, stirring until just combined.
If using, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese for added flavor.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.

Notes

This casserole can be made a day in advance; simply cover and refrigerate before baking. Add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a gluten-free version, substitute cornmeal with a gluten-free cornmeal blend.
