Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until smooth.
- Add in the beaten egg, sugar, vanilla extract, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Stir in the panko breadcrumbs and grated cheese, blending them into the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, smoothing out the top.
Glazing
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, melted butter, water, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until well combined and warmed through.
- Drizzle the honey glaze over the casserole before placing it in the oven.
Baking
- Bake the casserole for about 45-50 minutes or until set and golden brown on top.
- Let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh chives or a sprig of thyme.
Notes
Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense texture, and monitor baking time as ovens may vary. Apply the honey glaze just before baking to avoid burning.
