Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Butter (Plus extra for greasing the dish)
  • 1 cup Yellow Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium Garlic Clove, minced
  • 4 cups Corn Kernels, fresh or thawed (From about 6 large ears)
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • Salt and Pepper (To taste)
  • 1 pie crust (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pie Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter. If using a pie crust, gently fit it into the dish and trim any excess edges.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Cook Corn Kernels: Add the corn kernels to the skillet with onions and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the corn is warmed through and any extra moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Stir the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, mixing gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  6. Fill Pie Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared pie dish, whether lined with a pie crust or not.
  7. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Bake until the center is just set and lightly golden on top. Test doneness by inserting a knife near the center; it should come out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the pie set up for creamy, perfect slices.

Notes

  • You can use fresh, canned (drained), or frozen corn kernels, but fresh or thawed frozen corn will give the best texture.
  • If preferred, omit the pie crust for a gluten-free or lower-carb version; grease the pie dish well in that case.
  • Adjust the seasoning by adding additional herbs like thyme or a pinch of cayenne for extra flavor if desired.
  • Use full-fat milk for a richer, creamier texture or substitute with a milk alternative for dietary preferences.
  • Letting the pie cool before slicing ensures clean, even slices that hold their shape well.
