Corn Whenever I make Baked Corn, it is always a big hit!  Even my son, who is a picky eater and usually doesn’t eat corn, devours this!  I modified the recipe that I had for this and here it is!

TIP:  The secret to this recipe turning out superb is separating the eggs and beating the egg whites until they are firm. 

BAKED CORN

  • 1 can cream style corn
  • 1 can whole kernel corn
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cups cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Dash of salt and pepper

Mix together corn, sugar, butter, salt & pepper, cracker crumbs & egg yolks.

Pour into buttered casserole.

Beat egg white until firm & fold into corn mixture.

Pour in milk & bake at 350 degrees until brown.
