Instructions
Preparation and Baking
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a pie dish with butter.

- In a large bowl, combine the sweet corn, sautéed onions and garlic, cheddar cheese, eggs, milk, flour, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use fresh sweet corn when it's in season for the best flavor. You can mix and match cheeses; for a twist, try adding Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese for a little heat. Make sure to let the pie cool a bit before cutting; this helps it hold its shape better. For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. You can also add cooked bacon or diced bell peppers for extra flavor.
