Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) cream-style corn
  • 1 can (15 ounces) whole kernel sweet corn, drained
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups (78 g) crushed Ritz crackers, divided
  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted, divided

Seasonings and Garnish

  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C). Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy release after baking.
  2. Mix the corn base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream-style corn, drained whole kernel corn, beaten eggs, ¾ cup of the crushed Ritz crackers, and half of the melted butter. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Transfer to baking dish: Pour the combined corn mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform layer for baking.
  4. Prepare the cracker topping: In a small bowl, mix the remaining ¾ cup crushed Ritz crackers with the remaining melted butter, paprika, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until the cracker crumbs are fully coated with the butter and seasonings.
  5. Add the topping: Sprinkle the seasoned cracker topping evenly over the corn mixture in the baking dish, distributing it to cover the surface completely.
  6. Bake the casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the cracker topping turns a golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges, signaling it is cooked through.
  7. Rest and garnish: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a vibrant color and fresh flavor.

Notes

  • For a crunchier topping, broil the cracker crust for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • You can substitute crushed buttery crackers like Club crackers if Ritz is unavailable.
  • To make ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it covered for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats and can also be served as a vegetarian main when accompanied by a salad.
