Brazilian Corn Casserole, known as "pamonha de forno," is a savory dish deeply rooted in Brazilian cuisine. This delightful casserole combines sweet corn, milk, eggs, butter, and cheese, resulting in a rich, moist texture and slightly sweet flavor. Traditional variations may include ingredients like bacon or sausage for added depth. Originating from Brazil's countryside, pamonha reflects the nation's love for corn-based dishes. From a nutritional perspective, this casserole offers vitamins and minerals from the corn, such as folate, fiber, and antioxidants like lutein. Eggs contribute protein, while milk and cheese provide calcium for bone health. However, the recipe’s butter and cheese content can increase saturated fats, and any added meats may elevate sodium levels. A lighter version with reduced cheese and no added meat can make this dish more heart-friendly while preserving its vibrant flavor. It’s a comforting, balanced treat when enjoyed in moderation.
