This creamy, cheesy Swiss Corn Bake recipe is the perfect side dish for any meal. It’s perfect for holiday parties, potlucks or any weeknight meal. Super simple to make and so delicious!
If you’re like me and struggle with side dishes, then this Swiss Corn Bake is going to become your new BFF. My mom found this recipe years ago (I’m pretty sure she got it from a recipe card at a grocery store). It’s been a family favorite from the first time she made it.
This is a simple recipe that takes a bag of frozen corn to a whole new level. It literally takes less than 10 minutes to put together and then bakes for about 25 to 30 minutes. Easy peasy my friends.
If you’re looking for a perfect new side dish for your Thanksgiving meal, then look no further. But even if you’re true and loyal to the traditional green bean casserole at Thanksgiving, it never hurts to have to branch out and have other options right? And this really is a fantastic side dish for any meal, not just for Thanksgiving.
I made this a couple years ago for one of the annual Christmas dinner I host with some friends, and it was a huge hit. One of my friends asked for the recipe and she makes it.
It’s a really nice change of pace from boring frozen corn that you probably usually just cook, drain and throw some salt and pepper on.
Can I use canned corn?
Good question. I’ve never made this with canned corn, but I’m guessing you could. I would just be sure and drain the corn really well. Personally I love frozen corn more than I do canned corn which is kind of funny because it used to be the other way around.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes you can. Just put it in your fridge until you’re ready to bake it. It will require a few extra minutes of baking.
You’re going to love this one!

sorry for this silly question, but what are soft bread crumbs? i hope to make this recipe for thanksgiving. it looks amazing! thanks for your help.
Hi Karen, not a silly question. I think I’ll take off the word “soft” because it really is just normal bread crumbs, not Panko which are definitely a “crunchy” breadcrumb. This is so good, you’ll love it!
Question: bread crumbs, are these store bought kind or make my own from sandwich bread?
Either one is fine! I’ve done it both ways.
How long are the leftovers good for
This will last a good four to five days in the fridge and still taste delicious when reheated.
Does this freeze well?
If not can I make it up a day before needed and not bake until next day, I’d add the bread crumbs right before I bake?
Traveling to see family and want to make ahead of time.
Have made this before and it is delicious, a family favorite.
Hey Theresa, I haven’t ever frozen this so I’m not sure how well it would freeze. But yes, you could definitely make it a day ahead and put the bread crumbs on right before you bake it.
