Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 ounces yellow cornmeal
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 eggs
- 1.5 cups canned corn kernels (drained) or fresh corn
- 1 cups canned cream-style corn
- 1 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the yellow cornmeal and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a fragrant paste.
Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sugar, salt, and baking powder. Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Gradually whisk the eggs into the slightly cooled cornmeal mixture until smooth.
Fold in the corn kernels (either canned or fresh) and cream-style corn. If desired, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese for added flavor.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set (a toothpick inserted near the center should come out clean).
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. The dish will firm up slightly as it cools.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite meals!
