Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 2 cups sweet corn, thawed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter. Lay the pie crust into the pan, pressing gently.
- In a large bowl, combine the sweet corn and shredded cheddar cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the corn and cheese. Add green onions and stir until combined.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the filling is set and golden.
- Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh sweet corn.
- Allowing the pie to rest after baking helps the filling set.
- Experiment with different cheeses like Gruyère or Monterey Jack.
- Add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Garnish with paprika or fresh herbs for added visual appeal.
