Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole kernel corn
- 1 cup cream-style corn
- 1.5 cups saltine crackers (crushed)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and crushed saltine crackers. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Pour the milk and egg mixture into the bowl with the corn mixture. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving a small handful for topping.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
Optional: Lightly sprinkle paprika over the top for extra color and flavor.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, the edges are bubbling, and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and let the scalloped corn rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow it to firm up slightly.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
