Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box vegetarian Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese
  • 1 can (15 oz) sweet corn, drained
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles (optional)
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers or jalapeños (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (for greasing dish)
  • Chili flakes or chipotle powder (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350–375°F and lightly grease a baking dish with oil or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetarian Jiffy mix, eggs, sour cream or yogurt, and drained corn. Stir until just combined—lumps are okay.
  3. Fold in the shredded cheese and optional diced peppers or green chiles for extra flavor.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Gently shake the dish to settle the mix.
  5. Top with additional cheese and sprinkle chili flakes if desired.
  6. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving for best texture.

Notes

Customize with jalapeños for heat or chipotle powder for a smoky twist. Shred your own cheese for the best melt and texture.
