Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh corn kernels, creamed corn, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, honey, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the casserole light and fluffy.
Gently fold in the beaten eggs.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Pour the corn mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Add protein: Include cooked bacon, diced ham, or shredded chicken to turn this into a main dish.

Spicy twist: Add diced jalapeño or cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.

Different cheese: Monterey Jack or mozzarella can be used for a different flavor.

Dairy-free: Use a dairy-free sour cream alternative and dairy-free cheese.

Make-ahead: Prepare the casserole and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.

Use frozen corn if fresh corn is unavailable; just thaw and drain it first.
