  • Sugar: 2 tablespoons (optional, for extra sweetness).
  • All-purpose flour: 2 tablespoons.

Step 3: Combine with corn and cheese

Step 4: Assemble the casserole

  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 5: Bake the casserole

  • Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Step 6: Garnish and serve

  • Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley and serve warm.
