Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking dish with corn oil.

If using fresh corn, cut kernels off the cobs. If using frozen corn, ensure it's thawed. In a blender or food processor, combine the corn kernels, sautéed onion with its oil, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper. Blend until mostly smooth but with a little texture remaining.
💡 نصائح احترافية: For a smoother texture, you can process the corn and onion mixture longer. Some prefer to leave some corn kernels whole for texture. - 4
In a large bowl, combine the blended corn mixture with the corn flour and crumbled cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
💡 نصائح احترافية: Ensure the dish is evenly filled. - 6
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
💡 نصائح احترافية: The casserole should be set and slightly puffed. - 7
Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving warm.
