Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or canned corn kernels, drained if canned
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 cup creamy (plant-based) cheese, shredded or cubed
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the smoked turkey bacon. Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and onion powder until smooth and well combined for a creamy base.
  3. Combine dry ingredients and corn. In a separate bowl, stir the flour, natural gelling agent, black pepper, and corn kernels together. Then add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
  4. Fold in creamy (plant-based) cheese and bacon. Gently fold the chopped smoked turkey bacon and creamy (plant-based) cheese into the mixture to create pockets of melted cheese and smoky flavor.
  5. Bake to perfection. Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed frozen corn for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Do not overmix ingredients to keep the casserole light and fluffy.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before slicing for easier serving.
  • Fold in the creamy (plant-based) cheese last to maintain texture and melting throughout the dish.
  • Choose smoked turkey bacon with rich flavor to enhance the smoky depth.
