Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh or canned oysters
- 15 ounces whole kernel corn (canned or frozen, drained if canned)
- 14 ounces cream-style corn
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Drain the oysters and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, eggs, and heavy cream. Whisk until fully blended.
Stir in the melted butter, yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a smooth batter.
Gently fold the oysters into the batter, taking care not to break them apart.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole for a crunchy topping.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a savory side dish and enjoy!
