Ingredients

For the Pie:

  • 2 tablespoons butter, plus extra for greasing the dish
  • 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 medium garlic clove, minced
  • 4 cups fresh or thawed corn kernels (from 6 large ears)
  • 2/3 cup milk (a mix of plant milk and dairy milk or half-and-half)
  • 2 cups grated soft cheese (such as half mild cheddar and half fontina)
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
  • 3 eggs
  • Paprika for garnish (optional)

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup cheese
  • 1/2 tablespoon chives
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F and position the rack above the middle position. Grease a standard-sized pie plate with butter.
  2. Sauté the onion and garlic: In a skillet, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for about 4 minutes until slightly browned. Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with corn, milk, 1 1/2 cups of cheese, 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and chives. Mix well and then add the eggs, stirring until combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate.
  4. Make the topping: Melt the remaining butter and combine it with panko breadcrumbs, cheese, chives, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the pie filling.
  5. Bake the pie: Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet for easy handling and bake for about 35 minutes, or until slightly puffed, set, and beginning to brown.
  6. Serve: Allow the pie to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with a dash of paprika and additional chives if desired.

Notes

  • The pie can be prepared and baked in advance and keeps well for a couple of days.
  • This dish is perfect for a summer brunch paired with mimosas.
