Equipment

  • 8x8 OR 9x9 baking dish + non stick spray (A larger dish will help this cook faster)
  • Whisk + bowl + spatula

Ingredients
  

CORN CASSEROLE BASE

  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 341ml can whole kernel sweet corn, drained (roughly 1 ½ cups)
  • 1 398ml can creamed-style sweet corn (roughly 1 ⅔ cups)
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper

TOPPER

  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers or Panko bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp. melted butter

Instructions
 

MAKE YOUR BASE

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • In a large bowl, add your melted butter.
  • Whisk in your flour, then whisk in sugar and get to a nice creamy state.
  • Crack and add your eggs, one at a time, then whisk some more.
  • Time to add the milk, be careful not to “slosh” the liquid out of the bowl.
  • Next let’s switch to a spatula and add in our corn niblets and cream style corn.
  • Season with ½ teaspoon of salt and a few cracks/pinches of pepper.
  • Pour this mixture into a greased 8x8" baking dish.

MAKE THE TOPPER

  • Add your melted butter to panko bread crumbs or Ritz crackers and really mix to combine. (*Note: If you’re using Ritz crackers, crush them down to a nice small crumb.)
  • Top your casserole with your topper and bake uncovered at 350 F for 45 minutes to an hour - checking at the 45 minute mark.

ENJOY!

  • Ultimately we want the centre to be set and the casserole to be golden brown and caramelized on top. This can take UP to 1 hour 15 mins, depending on your pan size. Just give it time and give it little “jiggles” to see how set the centre is.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes, serve warm.
