Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
- 1 15-ounce can cream-style corn (canned)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 stalks green onions (optional, sliced thin)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to form a roux and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, and cook until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in sugar, salt, and black pepper, then remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, cream-style corn, shredded cheddar cheese, and the prepared cream mixture. Mix thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then stir in the cornmeal and baking powder. Add this mixture to the corn mixture and stir until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, ensuring it’s spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, then sprinkle with additional cheddar cheese if desired. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
