Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 3 15-ounce cans creamed corn
- 3 8-ounce boxes cornbread mix
- 4 large eggs
Dairy and Creamy Components:
- 2 cups sour cream
- 8 ounces mascarpone
- 1 ½ sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- Unsalted butter, for the Dutch oven
Seasonings and Garnish:
- ½ cup sliced scallions (green and white parts)
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Position the grill for indirect heat, ensuring hot coals are concentrated on one side of a charcoal grill or setting only one side of a gas grill to medium-high temperature (around 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius).
- In a spacious mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together creamed corn, cornbread mix, fresh eggs, whole corn kernels, tangy sour cream, and finely chopped scallions until ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Delicately melt unsalted butter and smooth mascarpone cheese in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring gently to prevent separation or scorching.
- Stream the silky butter and mascarpone mixture into the large bowl, incorporating with the existing ingredients. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, then fold until uniformly combined.
- Generously grease a sturdy cast-iron Dutch oven with additional butter, ensuring complete coverage of interior surfaces.
- Transfer the corn mixture into the prepared Dutch oven, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Carefully place the Dutch oven on the cooler side of the preheated grill, covering with a tight-fitting lid to trap heat and maintain consistent temperature.
- Bake for approximately 50 to 65 minutes, or until the surface turns a rich golden brown and the center sets firmly when gently jiggled.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality, fresh corn kernels to elevate the overall flavor profile of the dish.
- Maintain medium-low heat when melting butter and mascarpone to prevent separation and ensure a creamy consistency.
- Whisk ingredients thoroughly to create a uniform, lump-free mixture that blends seamlessly.
- Position coals or burners for optimal indirect grilling, allowing even heat distribution and perfect cooking.
