Note
For a crispier topping, increase the baking time by 5-10 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
You can substitute fresh corn kernels for canned if available; cook fresh corn briefly in boiling water before mixing.
This dish can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; add 5-10 minutes to the cooking time if baking from cold.
For a vegan version, ensure the butter or margarine is plant-based and check that the milk is a non-dairy alternative.
