Ingredients

• 3 cups canned sweetcorn
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons paprika
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized ovenproof dish.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to form a roux.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring it's smooth and lump-free. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly whisk the cheese sauce into the eggs a little at a time to temper them and avoid curdling.

Step 6

Add the canned sweetcorn (drained if necessary) and chopped green onions to the bowl, stirring to combine.

Step 7

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

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the sweetcorn bake.

Step 9

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy, and the bake is set in the center.

Step 10

Allow the sweetcorn bake to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.
