A savory, custard-like pie brimming with juicy corn and sharp, melted cheddar.

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 Pie Crust

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter. If using a pie crust, fit it gently into the dish and trim the edges.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the corn kernels to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until warmed through and any extra liquid has evaporated. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until smooth.

  5. 5

    Stir in the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Pour the mixture into your prepared pie dish (lined with pie crust, if using).

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is just set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps everything set up nicely for perfect, creamy slices.
