Ingredients
4 cups whole kernel corn
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
Whisk eggs in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
Stir in sour cream, melted butter, and flour until smooth.
Fold in the corn kernels and 1.5 cups of the shredded cheese.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Top with the remaining 0.5 cup of cheese.
Bake for 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Notes
Use fresh corn for the best flavor, though thawed frozen corn works perfectly well. Shredding the cheese by hand is recommended for superior melting consistency. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
