Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Creamed corn
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cornmeal and milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and resembles a loose pudding, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, creamed corn, and melted butter until smooth.
Stir in the cooked cornmeal mixture, sweet corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour the combined batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the spoon bread is set in the center and golden brown on top.
Allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives if desired, then serve warm with a spoon.
