🔍 FAQs

What can I use instead of heavy cream in this recipe?

Half and half or evaporated milk. Just don’t use regular milk! You don’t want any of the dairy to curdle or be runny. I’d try cream cheese before I’d use milk.

Can I make this recipe with fresh corn instead of canned?

Yes, sure, for the canned corn. For the creamed corn, stick to canned.

Is scalloped corn gluten free?

Yes, but the crackers are not. Substitute a gluten free cracker and you’re good. 😊

👩🏻‍🍳 Expert tips

  • Saltine crackers can be used instead of Ritz crackers if desired.
  • For an extra crunchy topping, add 1/4 cup crushed potato chips to the cracker crumb mixture before sprinkling it over the top of the casserole.
  • Freshly ground black pepper is best for this recipe.
  • Consider adding diced jalapeno pepper for a bit of heat!
  • If you don’t like green onions, garnish with freshly chopped parsley when serving for added color and freshness.
