Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. corn meal
  • 2 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 7 Tbsp. butter
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 5 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Pulse corn meal and frozen corn in a food processor until broken down, but still with some texture. Set aside.
  • Grease a 1½-quart casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
  • Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan, add the flour, and mix it with a whisk. Cook over medium heat for 30 seconds, add the milk, and stir with a whisk. Cook while whisking for about 2 minutes over medium-high heat until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper, and add the corn.
  • Whisk in the eggs and cheese and scrape the batter into the prepared casserole dish. Bake 40 minutes and serve immediately.
