Baked Corn Casserole
Description
This Baked Corn Casserole combines corn kernels—freshly cut from the cob or partially thawed frozen corn—with whole milk, melted butter, salt, pepper, and a lightly beaten egg. The mixture is stirred together and poured into a buttered 8x8 baking dish.
Baking at 375°F for 45 minutes to an hour results in a custardy texture inside with golden-brown edges. Cutting the kernels from the cob includes scraping the milky juices, which enriches the casserole's flavor and moisture.
The finished dish has a creamy, slightly sweet corn flavor with a soft set texture alongside gently crisp edges. It works well as a warm side for various main courses, particularly in comfort or holiday meals.
For convenience, corn can be prepared ahead by partially thawing frozen kernels. Leftover casserole stores well refrigerated for up to three days and reheats gently in a low oven to preserve texture.
Ingredients
- 5 cups corn about 10 ears, shucked, cleaned and cut from the cob (or 40 ounces frozen creamed corn)
- 1 cup milk whole
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter or grease an 8x8 baking dish.
- Shuck and remove the silks from the corn. Over a large bowl or pan, use a sharp knife to cut down the length of the cob removing the top half of the corn kernels. Then go back over the cob with the flat side of a knife and scrape all the milky liquid into the bowl with the kernels.
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients, mixing well.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the edges start to turn golden brown.
Notes
- When using frozen corn, partially thaw about 30 minutes before mixing for best texture.
- The casserole may be prepared a day in advance and reheated gently at 200°F before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to three days.
