Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the top and stir for 1 minute.
Step 3
Pour in milk slowly while stirring to avoid lumps. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4
Remove from heat. Stir in cheese, corn, and roasted peppers until fully combined and cheese melts.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the mixture back into the skillet and smooth the top.
Step 6
Bake until the top is golden and bubbling at the edges, 10–12 minutes. Garnish with basil if using.
