Ingredients

Scale

Corn and Vegetables

  • 3 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk or cream

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour or cornmeal (or gluten-free flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish thoroughly with butter to prevent sticking and add flavor. If using canned corn, drain any excess liquid. Melt the butter gently on the stove and blend it with honey to create the honey glaze base.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, and the honey-butter glaze until smooth and fully combined, ensuring the custard base will set properly during baking.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the flour (or cornmeal/gluten-free flour), baking powder, salt, and sugar. Slowly fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture carefully to create a cohesive batter without overmixing.
  4. Add Corn and Stir: Gently fold the corn kernels into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout while being careful not to break the kernels in order to maintain texture.
  5. Bake and Glaze: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. For an extra touch of sweetness, brush warm honey on top immediately after baking.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn if possible for the best texture and natural sweetness.
  • Gently fold ingredients to avoid overmixing and preserve a light, tender crumb.
  • Grease your baking dish well with butter to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
  • Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking to set and improve slicing.
  • Use pure, high-quality honey for a richer, more complex glaze flavor.
