Baked Creamy Corn Casserole

Baked Creamy Corn Casserole

Cook Time 1 minute
Total Time 1 minute

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup milk divided
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp. butter unsalted
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tbsp. flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 4-5 cups corn kernels fresh or frozen (thawed) – well drained
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4-1/2 cup shredded Asiago optional
  • Chives for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400F, rack in the middle. Lightly spray a 2 quart baking dish.
  2. In a medium-to-large saucepan over medium heat add in the cream, 1/4 cup milk, sugar and butter. Bring to a boil. While the cream mixture is heating up make a slurry of the flour and remaining 1/4 cup milk by whisking together until well combined.
  3. Whisk together the eggs until well beaten. Once the milk comes to a boil, add in the flour slurry and whisk until thickened slightly – ~30 seconds to a minute. Remove from the heat and add in the corn and salt mixing to combine. Slowly add in the eggs while mixing the entire time– you do not want the eggs to curdle. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is puffy and golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving so it can firm up and set.

Stone Fruit Skillet Cobbler

Stone Fruit Skillet Cobbler

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings: 6

Ingredients
  

For the Filling:
  • 2 pounds cored stone fruit peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries, etc…
  • 1/2 – 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
For the Topping
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp. cornmeal
  • 3 tbsp. sugar
  • 11/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 5 tbsp. unsalted butter cold and chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • extract sugar for sprinkling
  • vanilla ice cream for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 and prep the filling. Core and chop fruit into 1/2” pieces and be sure that any peaches have been peeled. You can keep the skin on plums, cherries, and nectarines. Toss the fruit with the remaining filling ingredients and sugar to taste. I like to start with ½ cup sugar for ripe, sweet fruit. If you’re using any tart or not fully ripened fruit, you’ll likely need about ¾ cup of sugar instead. Only add the full cup of sugar for really sour fruit. Dump the fruit mixture into a 1-1/2 quart baking dish and set aside while you prep the topping.
  2. Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter or the backs of two forks to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until pea-sized clumps form. Add the heavy whipping cream and stir together until a dry dough comes together. Use a medium cookie scoop or your hands to make little flat rounds of dough to place directly on top of the fruit in the baking dish. Sprinkle with a little extract sugar and baking in the preheat oven for about 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the fruit underneath is bubbling. Allow to cool slightly before serving with a scoop of ice cream.

Roasted Golden Beets and their Greens with Garlic Orange Dressing

Roasted Golden Beets and their Greens with Garlic Orange Dressing

Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound golden beets
  • 1 head garlic
  • 3 tbsp. plus 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp. real salt or to taste
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tbsp. minced onion

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Trim the beet tops, leaving a 1-inch tail, reserving the top greens. Scrub the beets.

  3. Bake until a knife slips easily into the largest beet, about 1 hour; the time will vary depending on the size of the beets.
  4. Meanwhile tear the beet greens off their stems, discarding any yellowed or wilted greens. Cut them into 1-inch ribbons. Set aside.

  6. Squeeze about half the cloves of cooked garlic into a bowl and mash it well with a fork. Add the first 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the balsamic vinegar, orange juice, minced onion, salt and cayenne, and whisk together well. Toss the beets with half of this dressing.
  7. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet. Add the beet green ribbons. Cook and stir until the greens are wilted and tender. Toss in the remaining dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  8. Transfer the greens to a serving plate. Arrange the dressed beets over the greens. If desired, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
