Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh sage, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
If using frozen corn, thaw it completely by running it under cool water in a colander, then drain thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, egg whites, and sugar until well blended and smooth.
Stir in the chopped sage, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Fold in the corn kernels and dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Insert a toothpick in the middle; if it comes out clean, it’s done.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or light entree.
