Ingredients

  • 30 oz whole kernel corn Fresh, Frozen and thawed, or 2 15oz cans, drained.
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup milk Any milk will work including plant-based.
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter Measured solid.
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Any breadcrumbs, I use panko.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add the corn, flour, cornstarch, sugar or sweetener, salt, and pepper to taste in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Taste repeatedly here and adjust the spices and sugar to suit your taste.
  • Add the eggs, heavy cream, milk, and melted butter to a separate bowl. Whisk well to combine.
  • Add the milk and butter mixture to the corn and stir.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9x13 baking dish. Add in half of the breadcrumbs and stir and smooth the mixture throughout the pan.
  • Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs on top.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes uncovered. Bake until the top is crisp. Halfway through spritz the top of the mixture with cooking oil spray. If you want a well-browned topping, this helps a lot.
  • Cool before serving.

Notes

  •  
  • You can use either whole kernel corn or cream-style corn, depending on your personal preference. You can also use frozen corn kernels. When using canned corn be sure to drain it first. If using frozen corn thaw it first and drain the excess water
  • Don't overmix the batter. This will cause cracks in the topping.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the casserole warm.
