Sweet Harmony Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole: Rich, comforting corn dish with honey glaze. Quick, crowd-pleasing recipe. Perfect harmony of flavors!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (600g) fresh corn kernels (approximately 5–6 ears) or frozen corn, thawed
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (85g) high-quality honey, plus 2 tablespoons for glazing
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup (25g) chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, eggs, heavy cream, ¼ cup honey, and melted butter, stirring until well incorporated. The mixture should look glossy and evenly coated.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly distributed. This ensures your Sweet Harmony Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole will have a consistent texture throughout.
- Step 4: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the corn mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stop when just combined—a few small lumps are perfectly fine and will create a more tender result.
- Step 5: Fold in the chopped chives, reserving a small amount for garnishing after baking. The chives add a subtle onion flavor that beautifully complements the sweetness of the corn and honey.
- Step 6: Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to the corners. The surface should be level to ensure even baking.
- Step 7: Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from oven and drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the partially-baked casserole, focusing on the edges where it will caramelize beautifully.
- Step 8: Return the casserole to the oven for another 15 minutes, then brush with the remaining tablespoon of honey. Continue baking for 5-10 minutes more, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown with a slight jiggle in the center.
- Step 9: Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and makes serving cleaner and easier.
