Ingredients

• 3 cups sweet corn kernels
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onions, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, cooking until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the cooked corn kernels, the cheese sauce, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and paprika. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
