Corn Spoon Bread

By á-81356

Forget cornbread from a box or package—it's so easy to make from scratch, and so satisfying when you do. Add thyme or other herbs for flavor.

Ingredients

• 3 cups whole milk
• 2 cups fresh corn kernels or one
• 10-ounce package frozen corn, thawed
• 3/4 cup finely ground cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350° F.

In a large saucepan, over medium heat, bring 2 cups of the milk and the corn to a boil.

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining milk and the cornmeal. Whisking constantly, slowly add the mixture to the boiling milk. Reduce heat and simmer gently, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter, thyme, salt, pepper, and eggs.

Transfer to a buttered casserole or cast-iron skillet. Bake until golden and set, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
