For a smoother texture, consider using an immersion blender to partially puree the hominy before baking. Adjust the amount of jalapeño depending on your spice preference. Remember that the heat will intensify as it cooks. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, for a unique flavor profile. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if starting with a cold dish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium saucepan, combine the drained hominy, jalapeño, and minced garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. (2 minutes)
03
StepReduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the hominy is heated through and the flavors have melded, about 15 minutes. Ensure the hominy is tender but not mushy.
04
StepStrain any excess liquid from the hominy mixture. Transfer the hominy to a lightly greased baking dish. (2 minutes)
05
StepStir in the sour cream and butter until well combined and creamy. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the shredded Cheddar cheese for topping. Gently fold the remaining cheese into the hominy mixture. (3 minutes)
06
StepSprinkle the reserved Cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the hominy. (1 minute)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. (25 minutes)
08
StepRemove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and fresh cilantro, if desired.
