· 2 (15-oz.) pkg. frozen corn, thawed
· 8 ounces fontina or Swiss cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
· 1/2 cup grated yellow onion (from 1 large onion)

· 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
· 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Directions
· Step 1
Whisk together eggs and half-and-half in a large bowl. Pulse corn, in 2 batches, in a food processor until coarsely chopped, about 5 times. Add to egg mixture along with cheese, grated onion, flour, garlic, chives, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Transfer to a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish; cover and chill until ready to bake, up to 1 day ahead.
