Either place them in a food processor and pulse a few times until they are 1/4 of their original size, or process into a breadcrumb consistency. If you'd rather, you can simply place in a bowl and crush with your hands or place corn flakes into a resealable bag and gently crush with a rolling pin. Once you've found the right method and achieved the right consistency, combine crushed corn flakes with a 1/4 cup of melted butter and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.5.

Once cooked through, remove from oven and let casserole rest for 12-15 minutes before serving. Do not cover with foil right away.
