12 Servings
Ingredients
- 5 cups corn kernels approximately five cans
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup Asiago cheese grated
- Chopped chives for garnish
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Prepare the oven and baking dish
- Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Create the cream base
- In a large saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, and butter. Set over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture begins to heat through.
Mix the thickening paste and eggs
- In a small bowl, whisk the flour with a small amount of milk until smooth and free of lumps. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a fork.
Thicken the sauce
- When the cream mixture reaches a gentle boil, whisk in the flour paste. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens to a sauce-like consistency.
Incorporate the corn and seasonings
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the corn kernels and salt until evenly combined.
Add the eggs
- Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the hot mixture, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
Assemble and bake
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the grated Asiago cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed and lightly golden on top.
Rest before serving
- Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 15 minutes to set. Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
