Roasted Corn Breakfast Pie Recipes

SIMPLE ROASTED CORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Measure a 24-inch length of twine, if using, and cut into 4 even pieces.
• Peel back the husks from the cobs but do not remove completely. Remove all of the silk underneath and discard. Drizzle the cobs with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pull the husks back up and around the corn.
• Put the corn directly on the oven rack and roast until the corn is tender and the husks are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• If using twine, pull the husks back and tie with a piece of string. Transfer the cobs, in their husks, to a serving platter.

OVEN ROASTED CORN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt 1 stick of the butter in a large skillet and saute the red and green peppers and onions until tender. Remove from heat and add the rest of the butter.
• Refresh the frozen corn under cold running water and drain thoroughly. Mix pepper and mixture with corn, and place on a roasting tray place in the oven and roast until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper, and serve garnished with chopped parsley.

FIRE-ROASTED CORN AND BEEF SKILLET PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cook ground beef, stirring and breaking up lumps, in a large cast iron skillet until browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in pasta sauce and corn. Bring to a boil, then stir in cheese.
• Unroll breadstick dough and loosely weave on top of filling.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

ROASTED TOMATO AND CORN PIE WITH CHEDDAR CRUST

Steps:

• Make the Cheddar crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the flour and salt until well combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. There will be visible pieces of butter, but they should be quite small. (You can also do this in a medium bowl with your fingers or a pastry cutter.) Add the shredded cheese and pulse to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the ice water. Toss the mixture with your hands to distribute the water throughout the flour. Once the mixture becomes very fine crumbs, knead it a few times until it comes together. If there are portions of the dough that are more hydrated, use your hands to break them up, then incorporate the drier portions of the dough. The dough should not be totally smooth, or overly wet. If needed, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together easily in a ball.
• Form the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
• Make the filling: Heat the oven to 400 degrees with racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. On a baking sheet, combine the tomatoes, melted butter and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the top rack of the oven and roast until the tomatoes have become wrinkly, the skins have browned slightly and they've collapsed, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely. (You can complete this step in advance and refrigerate for up to 5 days.)
• When the tomatoes have cooled completely, gently transfer them to a medium bowl. If they've released a lot of liquid, drain the tomatoes in a colander before placing in the bowl. Stir the corn kernels and scallions into the tomatoes; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface and using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into a round about 1/4-inch thick and about 17 inches wide. Roll up the dough onto the rolling pin, wrapping it around the pin, and gently transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet; unroll. (It will be larger than the baking sheet in the some places; just allow the excess to drape over the edge of the pan.)
• Gently transfer the cooled tomato and corn mixture to the center of the dough and spread into an even layer, leaving the outside 2 inches uncovered. Working a little bit at a time, fold the outside edges over the filling, pleating the edges as you work.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water together to combine. Brush the egg wash around the outside edge of the crust.
• Transfer the pie to the lower rack of the oven and bake until the crust is deeply golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve directly on the baking sheet, or use the parchment paper to slide it onto a cutting board, then slide the parchment away to slice and serve. Serve warm or at room temperature, and garnish with basil just before serving.
