Ingredients

• 3 cups sweet corn kernels (canned or fresh)
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup crushed cracker crumbs (e.g., Ritz or saltines)
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, flour, and sugar until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the corn kernels, melted butter, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4

If you're using shredded cheddar cheese, gently fold it into the mixture for an extra cheesy flavor.

Step 5

Pour the corn mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crushed cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the casserole. This will create a golden, crispy topping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes. This will make it easier to scoop and serve.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy Grandma Macs Escalloped Corn as a perfect side dish for any meal!
