Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
Corn Ingredients
- 14 oz canned whole kernel sweet corn, drained
- 14 oz canned creamed sweet corn
Seasonings and Garnish
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
- Melt Butter: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, gently melt the unsalted butter by swirling the pan until it is fully liquefied. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly while preparing other ingredients.
- Create Batter: Whisk the all-purpose flour into the cooled melted butter until smooth and fully combined. Gradually whisk in granulated sugar, eggs, and whole milk to form a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Add Corn and Season: Stir in the creamed corn and drained whole kernel corn into the batter. Season the mixture well with salt, black pepper, and if using, nutmeg. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all flavors evenly.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the combined mixture into a prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Begin checking for doneness at 40 minutes and continue every 10 minutes thereafter by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean once fully set and when the top has turned golden brown and caramelized.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish. Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let it set properly.
Notes
- Add the all-purpose flour gradually while whisking to avoid lumps, ensuring a smooth, velvety casserole texture.
- If using nutmeg, add sparingly as it has a strong flavor – start with ¼ teaspoon and adjust taste accordingly.
- For a vegan version, substitute unsalted butter with a vegan spread and use plant-based milk instead of whole milk.
