Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cups Sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture and stir well to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh spinach, corn, and the prepared cheese sauce. Mix well.
Fold in the lightly beaten eggs until fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a standalone meal. Enjoy!
