Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh corn kernels (or canned, drained)
- 2 medium Jalapenos, finely chopped
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cobs. If using canned corn, drain thoroughly. Add the corn to a large bowl.
In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped jalapenos and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add them to the bowl of corn.
In the same bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, cream cheese, melted butter, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the chopped green onions. Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients without overmixing.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the cheese for added texture.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
