Ingredients

• 2 cups whole kernel corn
• 1 cup cream-style corn
• 1.5 cups saltine crackers (crushed)
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and crushed saltine crackers. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the milk and egg mixture into the bowl with the corn mixture. Stir everything together until evenly combined.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving a small handful for topping.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.

Step 7

Optional: Lightly sprinkle paprika over the top for extra color and flavor.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, the edges are bubbling, and the center is set.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the scalloped corn rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow it to firm up slightly.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
