Ingredients

  • 850 g Canned creamed corn
  • 120 ml Low-fat milk or almond milk
  • 60 g Shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 120 g Whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 40 g Dried cranberries
  • 1 tsp Fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 5 tbsp Butter or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan and lightly grease the inside with a little butter or olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add creamed corn, chopped onion, low-fat milk or almond milk, shredded Cheddar cheese, dried cranberries, and chopped rosemary, then mix well.
  3. Stir in about half of the whole-wheat breadcrumbs and a little black pepper, mixing until everything is fully combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining whole-wheat breadcrumbs over the top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden and crisp and the center is cooked through.
