Description

A rich and moist corn-based casserole with sharp cheddar cheese and sweet corn kernels. This dish is a perfect hybrid between cornbread and corn pudding.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal (medium grind)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup whole corn kernels, drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the sour cream and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and the whole corn kernels.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing into squares.
