Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons chopped jalapeños
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Soften cream cheese by microwaving for 20 seconds or letting it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, melted butter, and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until creamy and well combined.
  4. Add eggs and whisk until incorporated.
  5. Sprinkle in flour, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently until no dry streaks remain.
  6. Fold in drained whole kernel corn and creamed corn with a spatula.
  7. Add optional mix-ins: stir in shredded cheddar, chopped jalapeños, or fresh herbs as desired.
  8. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until edges are bubbly and center is set. If top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil after 25 minutes.
  10. Let casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.

Notes

For gluten-free, substitute almond flour or a 1:1 gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use plant-based cream cheese, butter, and coconut yogurt. Let casserole rest after baking for cleaner slices. Reheats and freezes well. Add extra cheese or herbs for variation.
