Notes

  • If using frozen corn, make sure to thaw it properly before adding it to the recipe. You can do this by placing it in the refrigerator overnight or using the defrost function on your microwave.
  • Be sure to drain the corn before adding it to the recipe.
  • Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the casserole dish inside. This helps the dish cook evenly and ensures a consistent result.
  • Grease your casserole dish lightly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • When combining the milk, eggs, melted butter, maple syrup, onion powder, salt, and nutmeg, make sure to mix everything together thoroughly. You want a well-blended, uniform mixture.
  • When adding the crushed cornflakes on top, make sure to distribute them evenly for a uniform crispy texture.
  • Allow the Scalloped Corn to rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the dish firm up a bit and makes it easier to serve.
  • Scalloped Corn is best enjoyed when it's still hot from the oven. It makes for a comforting side dish at any meal.
  • Use a skewer or toothpick to check for doneness. It should come out clean.
  • Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • There are 5 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
