Description
Cheddar Sweet Corn Pie is a delicious and comforting dish that combines fresh corn, creamy cheese, and savory onions baked in a pie crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons Butter Plus extra for greasing the dish
- 1 cup Yellow Onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Garlic Clove, minced
- 4 cups Corn Kernels, fresh or thawed (from about 6 large ears)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 pie crust (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter. If using a pie crust, fit it gently into the dish and trim the edges.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the corn kernels to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until warmed through and any extra liquid has evaporated. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until smooth.
- Stir in the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing gently to combine.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared pie dish (lined with pie crust, if using).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is just set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps everything set up nicely for perfect, creamy slices.
Notes
- For a spicier version, consider adding diced jalapeños.
