Ingredients
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or cream
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup cornmeal or flour
- 2 tbsp sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

Instructions

- Bake: Pour mixture into a greased casserole dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–45 minutes, until set but moist.
- Glaze: While warm, brush the top with honey using a pastry brush. Allow glaze to soak in and caramelize slightly.

- Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days; freeze for 1 month. Reheat gently in oven.
- Pro tip: Balance honey with a pinch of salt for depth of flavor.
