Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups sweet corn kernels (canned or frozen)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (shredded, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 1.5-quart baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
If using frozen corn, thaw it completely. Drain any excess liquid if using canned corn.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, salt, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually whisk in the flour until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Stir in the corn kernels to evenly coat them in the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top of the mixture.
Spread the breadcrumbs evenly over the top to create a crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own. It's perfect for holiday meals or potlucks!
