[kagy]

Ingredients

Yield:8 to 10 servings

• 6tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2pounds frozen or fresh corn kernels (about 6½ cups)
• 4scallions, thinly sliced crosswise (optional)
• 1fresh rosemary sprig (optional)
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• ½cup all-purpose flour
• ½cup fine or coarse yellow cornmeal
• 2teaspoons baking powder
• 1cup sour cream
• 2large eggs
• 1½cups freshly grated Cheddar or Parmesan

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Add 4 tablespoons butter to a 9-by-13-inch pan or other 3-quart casserole dish and transfer to the oven. Once the butter has melted, about 5 minutes, take the pan out of the oven and let cool.

2. Step 2

   In a medium pot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high. Add the corn, scallions and rosemary, if using, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn starts to give off some liquid and softens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and discard the rosemary sprig.

3. Step 3

   Stir the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt into the corn mixture. Tilt the baking pan so that the bottom gets coated in the melted butter, then pour the excess butter (do not scrape the dish) into the pot with the corn mixture. Stir to combine.

4. Step 4

   In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and eggs with a fork until combined. Add to the corn mixture along with ½ cup grated cheese and stir just until combined, taking care not to overmix.

5. Step 5

   Pour the batter into the pan, spread evenly, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the casserole is set, 30 to 35 minutes. For a golden top, broil for a few minutes. Serve hot.
