Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, flour, and baking powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Pour this mixture over the corn and cheese mixture and stir to incorporate.
-
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Add the onion and garlic mixture to the corn and cheese batter, stirring to combine all the ingredients.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Bake the Torta De Milho in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
-
Serve the Torta De Milho warm as a main dish with a side salad, or as a delightful side dish to complement your favorite Brazilian-inspired meal.
