Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Whole Kernel Sweet Corn (15.25 ounces can, drained)
- 1 Creamed-Style Sweet Corn (14.75 ounces can)
- 1 cup Whole Milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter
- ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F, ensuring the rack is positioned in the center.
- Melt ½ cup unsalted butter slowly in a saucepan over medium-low heat until completely liquid.
- Whisk ¼ cup flour into the cooled butter until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Add ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 well-beaten eggs, and 1 cup whole milk to the butter mixture, stirring until completely combined.
- Drain 1 can (15.25 oz) of whole kernel corn and pour in 1 can (14.75 oz) of creamed-style corn into the mixture.
- Season the corn mixture with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Transfer the entire mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it out to create an even layer.
- Bake uncovered for 75 minutes, watching for a golden-brown caramelized top and a set center.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly.
Notes
- Check your casserole at 60 minutes to prevent over-browning, as oven temperatures can vary slightly.
- Use fresh corn kernels instead of canned for a more vibrant, farm-fresh flavor when corn is in season.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top during the last 15 minutes of baking for extra richness and texture.
