This is the best gluten-free corn souffle in the entire world and is so easy to put together and throw in the oven! This dish, also known as Southern Corn Pudding, is incredibly creamy, cheesy, savory ingredients are mixed and melted together and baked to sweet perfection with a golden brown sweet crunchy topping!

My family has had this ~~love~~ obsession with my mom's corn souffle for decades. So many people know of it and love it, that now it is just referred to as "The Corn" because everyone just knows what "The Corn" is referring to.

My mother's original recipe will die with her. No one will ever really know the depths of that amazing recipe. Respect.

Best Corn Souffle:

But, I have come up with a great gluten-free version of her magical dish. It really is the best gluten-free corn souffle!

This gluten-free corn souffle comes out of the oven warm and bubbly, melty cheesy, and golden brown.

And did I mention that there is about 5 minutes of prep work to be done and then you just stick it in the oven??? So there isn't a lot of work, but there is a whole lot to gain!

The base of this gluten-free corn souffle is made up of a combination of creamed corn, whole kernel sweet corn, cream, and cheese.

When to serve gluten-free corn casserole:

Anytime! Any dinner occasion can find a delicious place for this easy and simple side dish. It's decadent enough for fancy dinner parties simply by adding a touch of fresh chopped parsley!

It's hearty enough to be the showstopper for a lazy night in!

My family makes a double batch of this corn souffle for each major holiday and we still fight over who gets to lick the pan!

We also like to make this corn casserole on the spur of the moment on chilly fall evenings partnered right next to a juicy pork chop.

Corn Souffle Pairings:

Like I mentioned above, this gluten-free corn souffle plays well with so many choices!

If you are making this dish for a holiday dinner or fancy party, sit it right next to a beautifully juicy London Broil, Decadent Pork Chops and Creamy Gravy, beside a plate of Champagne Chicken, or maybe you'd like to savor your corn souffle next to a Spicy Sage Turkey!

Now if you are feeling all warm and cozy and want a stick-to-your-ribs hearty-style meal, consider having this corn souffle as a side to your Southern Glazed Pork Chops or an easy BBQ Thyme Pork Roast!

Gluten-Free Corn Casserole Ingredients:

And if you are wanting to keep this corn casserole completely gluten-free, you may be wondering how I got all the aforementioned ingredients to follow suite.

2 cans whole kernel sweet corn
2 cans GF creamed corn, or you can easily make your own!
1 8 oz . GF cream cheese, softened, I use greek yogurt cream cheese spread!
8 oz . swiss cheese, shredded
2 tablespoon butter, melted
¾ cup GF frosted flake cereal, crushed
parsley and black pepper for garnish

Here are the ingredients I listed above with links to the gluten-free versions:

Creamed corn: Gluten free creamed corn is hard to find. I've actually never seen it sold in stores. But you can make your own. I like to follow Farm Flavor's recipe for creamed corn.
Whole Kernel Sweet Corn: Many cans of whole kernel corn are gluten free. Just check the labeling or use fresh corn kernels straight off the cob.
Cream Cheese: This is my favorite gluten-free cream cheese!
Swiss Cheese: Grab your favorite swiss cheese!

This is the best gluten-free corn souffle in the entire world {and is so easy to put together and throw in the oven!}! Creamy cheesy gluten-free ingredients are mixed and melted together, baked to sweet perfection with sweet crunchy toppings on top! www.blessherheartyall.com

How to make this easy corn souffle:

Just a few minutes before the corn souffle is done, the top is sprinkled with crispy corn flakes for a bit of crunch.

A handful of gluten-free corn flakes are crushed and drizzled in a bit of butter.

Within a few minutes in that warm oven, the topping turns into a golden brown buttery baked crunchy goodness on top of that gooey, cheesy, hearty corn souffle.

It brings some crunch to that otherwise thick and creamy casserole. It's pretty much perfect.

Here are the simple steps:

*For a detailed recipe card scroll down farther to view the full recipe card!

Preheat your oven to 350*F. In a 9 x 13 baking dish, combine and thoroughly mix the corn, creamed corn, cream cheese, and swiss cheese.
Cook in the oven for 45 minutes.
Combine the crushed cereal and butter in a small bowl and then sprinkle on top of the corn souffle.
Place back in the oven and cook an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cereal topping begins to turn golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from oven, garnish with pepper and parsley, and allow to cool a bit to set-up the souffle. Serve while still warm. Enjoy!

Doubling this corn souffle recipe:

Yes! If you want what my mother refers to as a "double batch" because you've got a lot of mouths to feed or huge appetites to fill, you will want to prepare a double batch of this easy corn pudding.

Doubling this recipe is easy. You will double all the ingredients EXCEPT for the topping, since the surface area on the top of the souffle stays the same whether you are doing a single batch or you are doubling the recipe.

If you are doubling the recipe, I recommend cooking the souffle an extra 8-10 minutes before you move on to Step 3: of adding the topping and cooking for a bit longer.

That's the only difference in doubling this corn souffle. Easy right???

How to store leftover corn souffle:

You should store your leftover corn souffle in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

I guarantee that it will not last that long! No way!

It will be devoured way before those three days are up, especially since it's so easy to reheat it and get it straight into your belly!

How to reheat leftover corn casserole:

To reheat your corn casserole, simply place your desired amount of corn souffle in a microwave-safe dish and microwave it covered on high.

Microwave times will vary because of the amount of souffle your are reheating and how hot you like your reheats.

Typically I would recommend microwaving your souffle for a time between 60-120 seconds. Please be careful because the cheese and cream in the souffle can come out scorching hot. Don't burn yourself!
