Ingredients
-
4 tablespoons butter
-
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
-
1/2 cup diced scallions (4-5 scallions)
-
1 large onion, small dice
-
1 medium bell pepper, small dice
-
1 large jalapeรฑo, minced
-
1 tablespoon kosher salt (see note)
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
4 cups corn kernels, divided (thawed if frozen)
-
4 eggs
-
1 jar Bouquet Garni (2 cups)
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
1 tablespoon maple syrup
-
1/2 cup finely ground cornmeal
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350ยบF.
Heat a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once itโs melted, add the onion, bell pepper, jalapeรฑo, salt, and paprika. Sautรฉ, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until softened and starting to brown. Stir in 2 cups of the corn and remove from the heat.
In a blender, purรฉe the remaining 2 cups of corn kernels, eggs, bone broth, heavy cream, maple syrup and cornmeal until smooth.
Stir the purรฉed mixture into the skillet along with the scallions and cheddar cheese. Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the center is just set - It will take closer to 35 minutes if the skillet cooled before adding the purรฉed mixture, and closer to 25 if it was still hot - so set your timer based on that.
Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Recipe Note
- The 1 tablespoon measurement is based on using Diamond Crystal salt. If using sea salt or another fine salt, use half that amount
- Make ahead: You can dice all your veggies and store in the fridge up to 3 days ahead. If making the entire dish ahead of time, undercook it slightly so you can reheat it without overcooking it. Itโs not easily transferred out of the cast iron skillet, so if making ahead it is better to cook it in a casserole dish for easier storing and reheating.
