Drescription

This light and fluffy poblano corn casserole has sweet corn and mildly spicy pepper in every bite. Self-rising cornmeal gives it texture and lift, while the cheese and cream cheese make it rich and creamy.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels (from about 4 ears)
  • 1 cup chopped poblano peppers
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 (4.5-ounce) can diced green chiles
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup self-rising cornmeal (white or yellow; see tip)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups shredded mexican-style cheese blend, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn, poblanos, onion and cumin; cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the poblanos are slightly tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese. Set aside to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk eggs, green chiles, milk, cornmeal and salt together in a large bowl. Reserve 1/3 cup cheese and add the remainder to the egg mixture. Add the corn mixture; stir well to combine. Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the reserved cheese. Bake until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Serve warm.
