Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 3 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Grated cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups Chopped green onions
- 1 units Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough, crimp the edges, and set aside.
In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the fresh corn kernels and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper with the whole milk until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Slowly add the milk mixture and the heavy cream, whisking until everything is fully combined.
Stir in the cooked corn, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions into the egg mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Fresh Corn Pie!
