Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Sweetcorn kernels (canned or fresh)
- 3 large Eggs
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Cheddar cheese (grated)
- 50 grams Butter (unsalted)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 large Premade pie crust (or homemade, if preferred)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Prepare the pie crust by lining a pie tin with the crust. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
Heat the butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and heavy cream together until well combined. Gradually whisk in the flour, ensuring there are no lumps.
Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, sweetcorn kernels, grated cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Optionally, sprinkle paprika on top for added color and flavor before serving.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
