Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 cups canned sweet corn, drained
• 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously to remove any lumps and create a smooth mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 3/4 cup of the shredded parmesan cheese until fully melted.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained sweet corn and the cheese sauce. Mix until the corn is evenly coated.

Step 7

Lightly beat the eggs in a separate small bowl, then fold them into the corn mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Sprinkle the top with panko breadcrumbs and the remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling at the edges.

Step 11

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
