Cooking steps

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2

Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces and, in a skillet over medium heat, brown sausage for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant.
3

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together until fully incorporated and slightly frothy.
4

Add sweet corn kernels, browned sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Sprinkle in salt, black pepper, and paprika, then mix thoroughly with a spatula.
5

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, monitoring the top—remove when golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
6

Allow the casserole to rest for at least 10 minutes after baking to help set and enhance texture before slicing and serving.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

Sweet corn kernels are the signature ingredient, giving the bake its tender texture and naturally sweet flavor. Smoked sausage adds savory depth and protein, creating a balanced, hearty profile.

Q. How should I brown the sausage for best flavor?

Brown the sliced smoked sausage in a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally. This step intensifies the sausage's savory aroma and prevents soggy texture in the final bake.

Q. How do I prevent the bake from becoming dry or rubbery?

Mix the cream and eggs well for a silky base, and let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking. This lets the bake set, prevents overcooking, and preserves moistness throughout each serving.

Q. What is the nutrition breakdown per serving?

Each 220g serving delivers about 360 kcal, with 27g carbs (30%), 15g protein (17%) and 20g fat (53%). This balance makes it a hearty, protein-rich option for satisfying family meals.

Q. Can this recipe be considered high protein?

Yes, this Corn and Sausage Bake is high protein—each serving contains 15g protein, alongside savory sausage and eggs, meeting the FDA threshold for a high-protein casserole.
