Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish
  • 1 medium jalapeño, finely chopped (seeded if desired)
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 15-oz. cans whole-kernel corn, drained
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (fresh or dried)
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped tender fresh herbs such as thyme, sage, or parsley, plus more
  • Green onions or chives (optional; for garnish)

Instruction

Step 1

Place rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 375°. Butter a 13x9" baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Melt 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (seeded if desired), and 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, and cook until fragrant and just starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add two 15-oz. cans whole-kernel corn, drained, 8 oz. cream cheese, ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese, and ¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and corn is well coated, 23 minutes, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

Pour corn mixture into prepared baking dish. Top with ½ cup breadcrumbs (fresh or dried), ½ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, and ½ cup roughly chopped tender fresh herbs such as thyme, sage, or parsley. Bake corn casserole until cheese is melted and bubbling and the breadcrumbs are a crispy golden brown, about 15 minutes. Garnish with more roughly chopped tender herbs and green onions or chives, sliced, (if using).

Do ahead: Corn casserole can be assembled without topping up to 3 days ahead of time. Cover casserole dish with a lid or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
