Ingredients

• 400 grams Sweetcorn kernels (canned or fresh)
• 3 large Eggs
• 250 milliliters Milk
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Cheddar cheese (grated)
• 50 grams Butter (unsalted)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
• 1 large Premade pie crust (or homemade, if preferred)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Prepare the pie crust by lining a pie tin with the crust. Set aside while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

Heat the butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and heavy cream together until well combined. Gradually whisk in the flour, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 5

Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, sweetcorn kernels, grated cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Optionally, sprinkle paprika on top for added color and flavor before serving.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
