Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 ounces yellow cornmeal
• 2 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 1.5 cups canned corn kernels (drained) or fresh corn
• 1 cups canned cream-style corn
• 1 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the yellow cornmeal and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a fragrant paste.

Step 3

Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sugar, salt, and baking powder. Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Gradually whisk the eggs into the slightly cooled cornmeal mixture until smooth.

Step 6

Fold in the corn kernels (either canned or fresh) and cream-style corn. If desired, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese for added flavor.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set (a toothpick inserted near the center should come out clean).

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. The dish will firm up slightly as it cools.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite meals!
