Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 15-ounce can cream-style corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup crushed butter crackers (like Ritz)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, cream-style corn, sour cream, and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten, then add to the corn mixture and mix thoroughly.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the wet corn mixture until just combined.
Fold 1 cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the batter, reserving 1/2 cup for topping.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed butter crackers with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Evenly scatter this mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
