Honey Glazed Corn Casserole (Print version)

Tender corn kernels baked in creamy honey-glazed custard with golden caramelized top.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 3 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen and thawed

02 - 1 cup whole milk

03 - ½ cup sour cream

04 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

05 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

06 - 2 large eggs

07 - ½ cup all-purpose flour

08 - 1 teaspoon baking powder

09 - ½ teaspoon salt

10 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

11 - ¼ cup honey

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.

02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sour cream, melted butter, and honey until completely smooth and incorporated.

03 - In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to ensure even distribution.

04 - Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet mixture, folding gently until just blended. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough texture.

05 - Fold corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese into batter until evenly distributed throughout.

06 - Pour batter into prepared casserole dish, spreading evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.

07 - Bake for 40-45 minutes until center is set and top achieves golden brown color. A knife inserted in center should come out clean.

08 - Allow casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This sets the texture for cleaner slices.

The balance between sweet honey and savory cheddar creates this incredible flavor that keeps everyone reaching for seconds

The casserole should still have a slight wobble in the center when you remove it as it continues cooking while resting

Add a ¼ teaspoon of smoked paprika to the dry ingredients for a subtle smoky depth
For extra crunch mix ½ cup buttery breadcrumbs into the top before baking
