Tips:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than frozen or canned corn. If you can't find fresh corn, frozen corn is a good substitute.
  • Don't overcook the corn. Overcooked corn will be mushy and lose its flavor. Cook the corn just until it is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A blend of cheeses will give the corn casserole a more complex flavor. Cheddar, Parmesan, and Monterey Jack are all good choices.
  • Add some spice. A little bit of spice will help to balance out the sweetness of the corn. Cayenne pepper, paprika, or chili powder are all good options.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make corn casserole. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or experiment with different cooking methods.

Conclusion:

New Orleans-style scalloped corn is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its creamy texture, sweet corn flavor, and cheesy goodness, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
