Total Time 1 hour hour 3 minutes minutes
Servings 8
2 large eggs room temperature 1 cup sour cream 4 oz cream cheese softened and cubed 1/2 cup butter melted 15 oz whole kernel corn drained 15 oz creamed corn 8 oz Jiffy corn muffin mix 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided 2 tbsp diced pickled jalapeños or ¼ cup chopped chives optional
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Mix the creamy base: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, cream cheese, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
Add the corn: Stir in both the drained whole kernel corn and the creamed corn.
Incorporate the dry mix: Add the corn muffin mix, salt, and pepper. Stir gently just until incorporated — don’t overmix!
Add cheese and flavor: Fold in ¾ cup of shredded cheddar and your optional jalapeños or chives.
Bake to perfection: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly across the surface.
Golden finish: Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
For a crispy crust: Turn the oven up to 400°F for the last 5–10 minutes or broil for 2–3 minutes until the cheese turns deep golden brown.
Let it rest: Cool for 5–10 minutes before serving to let it set and thicken slightly.
