Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust if corn is sweet)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted and cooled)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt the butter gently, then allow it to cool to prevent cooking the egg when mixed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, and the cooled melted butter until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients with Corn: In a large mixing bowl, add the corn. Pour in the wet mixture, then sprinkle in the flour, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together well until the mixture is evenly incorporated.
  5. Bake the Corn Casserole: Pour the prepared mixture into the greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the casserole is set and cooked through when tested with a knife or toothpick.

Notes

  • You can use either fresh or frozen corn; just thaw frozen corn before use.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar based on the natural sweetness of your corn.
  • Ensure the melted butter is cool before mixing to avoid scrambling the egg.
  • If desired, add a pinch of nutmeg for a warm spice note.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats or can be served as a vegetarian main.
