Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and to help the casserole brown beautifully.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, natural gelling agent, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients, which builds the casserole’s structure and flavor.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and plant-based cheese. Mix gently until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold in Corn and Onions: Gently fold in the corn kernels and chopped green onions, ensuring they are well incorporated to add bursts of sweetness and fresh flavor.
  5. Bake and Set: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn whenever possible for enhanced sweetness and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the casserole light and fluffy.
  • Allow the casserole to rest before slicing for cleaner cuts and better texture.
  • Adjust the batter thickness by adding more plant-based milk if too thick, or more cornmeal if too thin.
  • For added texture, sprinkle toasted crumbs or crushed nuts on top before serving.
