Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add 2 cups of corn kernels to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Fold in the cooled corn and onion mixture along with shredded cheddar cheese into the egg and milk mixture until evenly combined.
  6. Pour the filling into the prepared pie dish or crust. Spread evenly for even baking.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and set in the center; a knife inserted should come out clean.
  8. Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
