1/2 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 + 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

3. Melt the cream cheese in a small bowl in the microwave about 25 seconds. Stir and repeat if needed until creamy and smooth.

5. Pour the egg mixture over the corn in the skillet (off the heat). Add the cornmeal, 1 teaspoon coarse salt (or 1/2 teaspoon fine), 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese and the parmesan. Mix well. Pour into the casserole dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the bread crumbs.
