servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb. frozen sweet corn
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 tbsps. unsalted butter
- 1 tsps. garlic minced
- 2 tbsps. all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsps. sugar
- 1 tsp. Italian seasonings
- ¾ tsp. black pepper fresh ground
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese grated
- ½ tsp. crushed red chili flakes
- ¾ tsp. Salt to taste
- Chopped parsley to garnish
Instructions
- In a medium heavy bottom pot add sweet corn, whipping cream and milk and bring them to boil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile prepare the roux by heating a separate pan with butter and garlic. Cook for a minute until the butter is melted and the garlic is roasted. Sprinkle flour and stir it to form a smooth and thick mixture.
- Add the roux to the corn simmering pot. Allow the corn to cook further for 3-5 minutes until everything comes together thick and creamy.
- Stir in the sugar, Italian seasonings, black pepper and salt.
- Transfer the prepared corn mixture to a casserole dish. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly and crushed red peppers on top.
- Place the casserole dish in the oven under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted with some brown spots.
- Once done, sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure when you simmer the corn in the dairy, try to stir frequently so you don’t get any dairy burnt on the bottom of the pot or the film over top.
- If you only have salted butter, skip adding the additional salt.
- For some extra heat, add some diced jalapenos to the casserole dish before topping with cheese.
- You can use cream in place of milk in this recipe if desired.
- There’s no need to thaw the corn before using it. It’ll essentially thaw immediately once it’s added to the dairy on the stovetop.
- Keep a close eye on the dish as it broils in the oven, it’s easy to go from melted golden cheese to burnt cheese.
