Ingredients

• 15 ounces canned sweet corn (drained)
• 15 ounces canned creamed corn
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden and bubbling.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking to create a smooth roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper, then remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained sweet corn, creamed corn, and the prepared creamy sauce. Mix well to coat the corn evenly.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly stir the eggs into the corn mixture, ensuring they are fully incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
