How to Make Comforting Corn Casserole

1. Preheat Oven and Melt Butter

Preheat your oven to the temperature needed for baking a casserole. In a 9-by-13-inch pan or a 3-quart casserole dish, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter.

2. Sauté Corn

In a medium pot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the corn kernels, scallions, and a sprig of rosemary (both optional). Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Sauté until the corn is tender, about 5 minutes.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients

Remove the sprig of rosemary from the corn mixture. Stir in the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, and baking powder, along with the melted butter from the pot.

4. Prepare Creamy Mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and eggs until smooth. Stir in half a cup of the freshly grated Cheddar cheese, then gently fold this into the corn mixture.

5. Bake Casserole

Pour the batter into the buttered baking pan and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the casserole is set in the middle and the cheese is melted and golden.

6. Broil for Golden Top

If desired, switch your oven to broil for the last few minutes of cooking to achieve a more golden and bubbly top. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
