Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups sweet corn kernels (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup crushed cracker crumbs (e.g., Ritz or saltines)
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, flour, and sugar until smooth and well combined.
Add the corn kernels, melted butter, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
If you're using shredded cheddar cheese, gently fold it into the mixture for an extra cheesy flavor.
Pour the corn mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the crushed cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the casserole. This will create a golden, crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes. This will make it easier to scoop and serve.
Serve warm and enjoy Grandma Macs Escalloped Corn as a perfect side dish for any meal!
