Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)

2 cups fresh sweet corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

4 large eggs

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Pie Crust: If using a homemade pie crust, roll it out and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and refrigerate while preparing the filling.

      Sauté the Onion: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

        Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using) until well combined. Stir in the sautéed onions and sweet corn kernels.

          Combine with Cheese: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.

            Pour into Crust: Carefully pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.

              Bake the Quiche: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is puffed and golden brown around the edges, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley, if desired.

                  Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. Pairs beautifully with a green salad or as part of a brunch spread!
