4 large eggs, 1 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream), 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, ¾ cup cornmeal, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 cups frozen sweet corn, 1 15-ounce can cream-style sweet corn, 8 ounces cheddar cheese
