Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels or 1 can of corn, drained
  • 1 cup creamed corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh corn kernels, creamed corn, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, honey, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing and maintain a light texture.
  5. Incorporate Eggs: Gently fold the beaten eggs into the batter to bind the ingredients and provide structure to the casserole.
  6. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking and help with even cooking.
  7. Bake Casserole: Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading evenly. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Garnish: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes after baking. Optionally, garnish with chopped chives or parsley for a fresh, colorful touch before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn during peak season for the best flavor, but canned corn works well year-round.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the casserole light and fluffy.
  • If you prefer a less sweet casserole, reduce the honey slightly.
  • Make sure to check doneness with a toothpick to avoid undercooking or drying out the casserole.
  • Garnishing with fresh herbs adds a nice color contrast and fresh taste but is optional.
