Recipe Box, Maple Bourbon Corn Gratin
Is there anything better than fresh corn in the summer time?
It’s perfect simply roasted or grilled,
but here’s another way to serve it~
This is a great casserole that can be prepared ahead of time
and it makes a unique summer side dish that will always be welcome
The thing that makes this dish sing
is the added sweetness from the maple syrup or honey,
and the tangy zest of bourbon*
Bourbon is a great choice to pair with corn because distilled bourbon is made from at least 51% corn {source}
*If you don’t want to use bourbon you can substitute 1/4 cup milk or water with 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp almond extract
I used a mix of white and yellow corn,
{1 ear yields about 1/2 cup kernels}
The dish gets texture from corn meal,
creaminess from eggs, butter, cheese, cream cheese and milk
adapted from Half Baked Harvest
