Ingredients
- Fresh corn (or frozen or canned corn, drained)
- Honey
- Unsalted butter (or coconut oil or vegan butter for dairy-free)
- Whole milk (or almond milk or oat milk for non-dairy)
- Eggs (or flaxseed meal mixed with water for vegan version)
- Sharp cheddar cheese (or any cheese, or omit for dairy-free)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Paprika (optional)
- Garlic powder (optional)
- Cayenne (optional)
- Flour
- Baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when your casserole is assembled.
- Prepare your baking dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the corn: In a large bowl, combine your corn (fresh, frozen, or canned), melted butter, and honey. Stir until everything is well coated.
- Add the wet ingredients: Next, whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate bowl. Pour this mixture into the corn mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, and seasonings to the corn mixture. Gently fold everything together until just combined—don’t overmix!
- Cheese it up: If you’re using cheese, fold in the shredded cheddar at this stage, reserving some for topping.
- Transfer to the baking dish: Pour the corn mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with any remaining cheese.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. The honey glaze will be wonderfully sticky and sweet!
