corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
cream-style corn
butter
eggs
sour cream
milk
honey
cornmeal or cornbread mix

black pepper

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly greasing a baking dish.

In a large bowl, I mix together the corn kernels, cream-style corn, melted butter, eggs, sour cream, milk, and honey until everything is well combined.

I stir in the cornmeal or cornbread mix, then season with salt and black pepper. If I want a richer flavor, I add some shredded cheddar cheese at this stage.

I pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. I bake it for about 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set.

Once baked, I let it cool slightly before serving so it holds its shape better.

Variations

For a lighter version, I reduce the butter and use low-fat dairy.
I occasionally sprinkle extra cheese on top before baking for a crispy finish.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When I reheat it, I warm it in the oven at a low temperature or use the microwave for convenience. If it seems a bit dry, I add a small amount of milk before reheating.
