Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
3 cups fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels (from about 4 ears)
-
1 cup chopped poblano peppers
-
1 cup chopped yellow onion
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed
-
2 large eggs
-
1 (4.5-ounce) can diced green chiles
-
½ cup whole milk
-
½ cup self-rising cornmeal (white or yellow; see Tip)
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 ¼ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn, poblanos, onion and cumin; cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the poblanos are slightly tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese. Set aside to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, whisk eggs, green chiles, milk, cornmeal and salt together in a large bowl. Reserve 1/3 cup cheese and add the remainder to the egg mixture. Add the corn mixture; stir well to combine. Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the reserved cheese. Bake until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Serve warm.
Tips
If you can't find self-rising cornmeal, substitute 6 Tbsp. fine cornmeal, 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp. baking powder.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
