Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 15.25-ounce can whole kernel sweet corn, drained
One 14.75-ounce can cream-style sweet corn
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon red chile flakes
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp or finely minced
2 scallions, white and green parts, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
3 large eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with the butter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sweet corn, cream-style corn, half-and-half, flour, maple syrup, chile flakes, garlic and scallions. Season with a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Taste and season more if needed. Whisk in the Cheddar, mozzarella and eggs. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake until set in the center and golden brown around the edges, 50 to 60 minutes. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh corn on the cob: Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid ears with dry or brown husks, or kernels that are shriveled or discolored.
  • Soak the corncobs in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling: This will help to prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat: This will help to sear the corn and prevent it from sticking to the grates.
  • Brush the corncobs with olive oil or melted butter: This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from burning.
  • Grill the corncobs for 10-12 minutes, turning them every few minutes: The corn is done when the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Season the corn with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings: You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of chili powder.
  • Serve the corncobs hot: Corn on the cob is best enjoyed immediately after grilling.
