Corn Casserole

Ingredients
1/2 cup milk, divided
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 Tbl butter, unsalted
1 1/2 Tbl sugar
2 Tbl  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




Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F, rack in the middle.
Lightly spray a 2-quart baking dish.
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.
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 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.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is puffy and golden brown.

*See note if using cheese
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving so it can firm up and set.
