Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh or canned corn, drained if canned
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs such as chives or parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Drain the corn if using canned and shred the plant-based cheese. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking dish with plant-based butter for easy release.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the corn, shredded plant-based cheese, natural gelling agent, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined to preserve the texture of the corn kernels.
  3. Transfer and Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  4. Let it Rest and Garnish: Allow the casserole to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to set completely. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top before serving for added color and fresh flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn for the best natural sweetness and crunch.
  • Do not skip the resting time to ensure the casserole holds its shape and texture.
  • Serve warm but not piping hot for the best creamy bite.
  • Mix ingredients gently to avoid a dense texture.
  • Choose a flavorful plant-based cheese variety to enhance the overall taste.
