Description

Not all pies are a sweet dessert type dish. This main dish pie is prepared with fresh or even frozen corn, 2 different cheeses, onion, garlic, milk and seasonings, topped with a crispy topping.

Ingredients

• 2 T. unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the baking dish
• 2/3 c. milk (or half plant milk and half dairy milk or half and half)
• 2 c. (about 8 oz.) grated mild Cheddar and Fontina cheeses, divided
• 1 c. finely chopped yellow onion
• 1 medium garlic clove, minced
• 4 c. fresh corn from 6 large ears or thawed from frozen (drain the thawed frozen corn before using)
• 3 T. chopped fresh chives, divided, optional
• 3/4 c. panko bread crumbs, divided
• 1 t. kosher or sea salt
• 3/4 t. ground white pepper
• paprika, for optional garnish
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. with an oven rack positioned just above the center.
2. Lightly butter a standard pie plate to prevent sticking.
3. Melt 1 1/2 T. butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion; cook about 4 minutes until edges are golden. Reduce heat to medium; add minced garlic; cook 2–3 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
