Ingredients
- 3 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar

- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Corn Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, heavy cream, milk, and melted butter. Mix well.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
-
Mix Everything Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the corn mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
-
Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
-
Top with Breadcrumbs: Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
-
Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
- To enhance the flavor, you can add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb topping.
- If using frozen corn, make sure to thaw and drain it before mixing.
- Ensure the casserole is completely set by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
