This casserole dish is devoured by my kids and guests alike. Very easy to make – light and fluffy and satisfying, with a simple taste that is delicious. I’m adding it to the Thanksgiving table. My picky teen thinks I’m the best cook ever when I make this…and hey, whenever a teenager thinks I’m doing something RIGHT… I’m bound to repeat it… because that’s a Blue Moon kind of thing around here.
Fresh Corn Spoon Bread
Gourmet Magazine – serves six
Ingredients:
2 cups whole milk
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 to 3 ears) (or 1 can)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, separated
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Bring milk, cornmeal, corn kernels, butter, and salt to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, stirring frequently, and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then whisk in yolks.
Beat whites and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer at medium speed just until soft peaks form. Whisk one fourth of whites into cornmeal mixture in pan to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Spread mixture evenly in a buttered 9 1/2-inch deep-dish glass pie plate or 1 1/2-quart shallow casserole and bake in middle of oven until puffed and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately (like a soufflé, spoon bread collapses quickly).

Karen, this is one of my all time favorite dishes. My mom made this when I was growing up and I could not get enough of it. Funny that I have only made it once. I don't think my family was as thrilled over it as I was. Going to have to make it again. Thanks for reminding me of this yummy dish.
We like cornbread so I think we will all like this…I have never had it. Sounds great!
XO,

I'll have to try this… my kids are now pros at complaining about just about everything, so I'll see if I can stump them with this!
Yum….This looks amazing. I love all things corn related.
I have never had this before…I will have to try it for sure :O)

Sounds delightful! Growing up, there was always cornmeal at our house. It was a necessity, as we ate cornbread almost every single day.

I love this too. I always make when I do a big ham! Hugs- Diana
I haven't made corn spoon bread in ages! Thanks for reminding me to make this again real soon…it is great comfort food:)
This is the South's gift to the world! I absolutely LOVE spoon bread. Great recipe, looks like, will have to make and find out.
BTW, if my post is wonky, it's because the ASPCA advert is hiding the entire left hand side of the comment section.
Puttng this on the menu, thanks.
