Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups whole corn kernels fresh or frozen Fresh corn works beautifully when in season, but frozen corn is also convenient.
  • 1 cup creamed corn Adds moisture and creaminess to the casserole.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted Provides richness to the dish.
  • ⅓ cup honey Key ingredient for sweetness and glaze.
  • 2 large eggs Helps bind the ingredients.
  • ½ cup sour cream Adds richness and softness.
  • 1 cup cornmeal Provides structure.
  • ½ cup all purpose flour Aids in binding the casserole.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the casserole rise.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese Adds a savory balance.
Optional Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions For added freshness.
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper For seasoning.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a medium casserole dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and honey, whisking until smooth.
  3. Add eggs, whisking until fully blended, then add sour cream and creamed corn, stirring until creamy.
Mixing Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.
  3. Fold in corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese, and also add green onions or black pepper if using.
Baking
  1. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
  2. Drizzle a small amount of honey on top and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden.
  3. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean.
Serving
  1. Let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fresh corn when possible for better flavor. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep it tender. You can adapt this recipe by adding jalapeños for heat, herbs for freshness, or bacon for a smoky flavor.
