I love corn, especially fresh corn on the cob, and even more especially the sweet peaches and cream corn at the farmers market in Charleston. I eat it all summer long and miss it so bad when it’s gone. But, I saved some over, off the cob, in the freezer and made the next best thing to hot, sweet, buttered corn on the cob straight from the market–scalloped corn! It’s also, by the way, one of my favorite sides to fix for Thanksgiving.
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 6-8
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 35 minutesIngredients
1 cup chopped onions and/or peppers (hot or sweet)*
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
1 cup bread crumbs
1 15-ounce can creamed corn**
1 15-ounce can corn
1 cup shredded cheese
*Onions and/or peppers can be omitted if you prefer.
**I use my own fresh-frozen whole and creamed corn instead of canned.
Directions
Cook the onions and peppers in butter till tender. Combine egg, milk, bread crumbs, and a dash of pepper in a large bowl.
Stir in the onion/pepper mixture, the corn, and half of the shredded cheese. Pour into a 1.5 quart greased casserole dish.
Toss with remaining shredded cheese.
I like to decorate with a little bit of chives, too.
Bake at 350-degrees for 35 minutes.

My husband saw this recipe the other day when I was looking at CITR and said “ohhhhhhhhhh make THAT!” (which is how a lot of things get started) Anywayyyyyyyy…..I am cooking this for dinner/supper along with a big pot of pink eye purple hull peas and cornbread. I haven’t decided if they are getting a meat as well because, quite frankly, im tired of cooking meat! Fresh tomatoes from the garden and a cucumber and red onion salad round out the menu!

I have made this many times with various peppers and it’s always good. My brother ate so much of it at Thanksgiving I think I might make scalloped corn his Christmas gift!
