Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons melted butter, divided in half
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup half-and-half (or half cream and half milk) 
  • 4 cups corn kernels, fresh, canned, or thawed from frozen
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • cups buttery crackers, coarsely crushed (such as Ritz)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325℉ (160℃). Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.  
  • Melt two tablespoons butter in a small fry pan, then add onion, bell pepper, and Creole seasoning. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and half-and-half.
  • Then add the onion mixture, sugar, salt, drained corn kernels, cheddar cheese, and ½ cup of crushed crackers to a large bowl. Thoroughly mix.  
  • Pour the corn mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  • Mix the remaining crackers and two tablespoons of melted butter. Spread it over the corn casserole. Add the remaining shredded cheese on top.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges of the casserole are set and golden brown. Remove from the oven.
  • Top it with parsley, and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can make this a main course with protein, like crumbled bacon, diced ham, or cooked and crumbled sausage.
  • Top your scalloped corn with panko breadcrumbs, saltines, club crackers, fried onions, or whatever you have on hand instead of Ritz crackers.
  • Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
