Feta Corn Casserole, made with canned corn and a hint of lemon and basil, takes only minutes to prepare, creating an easy side dish everyone loves.
If you love corn casserole, you’ll also want to check out my savory corn pudding.
Feta Corn Casserole was inspired by four ingredients: corn., feta cheese, fresh basil, and lemon.
For this recipe idea, I wanted to showcase the corn. Why? Because plump whole kernels of crisp super sweet corn are picked and packed at the peak of freshness (say that ten times real fast!) for the highest standard in rich, sweet flavor.
Feta cheese has a pretty strong flavor, so I wasn’t worried about not being able to taste it. I was sure to add enough fresh basil so that I could not only taste that amazing flavor, but I wanted to see it. And finally, instead of just adding lemon juice, I wanted to add lemon zest for that extra punch.
This recipe was incredibly easy to put together. Experience cooks are not required. It makes a great side dish for any favorite dinner too.
