Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) sweet corn, drained (or 3 cups frozen/thawed corn)
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Topping (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and for easy serving.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and melted butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients and Seasoning: Incorporate the eggs, milk, sugar (if using), salt, and black pepper into the cream cheese mixture. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and consistent in texture.
  4. Fold in Corn: Gently fold in the drained corn, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture without overmixing.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish and level the top with a spatula for an even bake.
  6. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole if desired, to add a golden, cheesy crust.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top turns golden brown.
  8. Rest Before Serving: Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for a few minutes to firm up slightly before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen corn if fresh or canned corn is unavailable; just make sure to thaw and drain well.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity or omit it based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use any cheese you like for topping—cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella work well.
  • This casserole pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or as a hearty vegetarian side.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
