Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Add the sweet corn, whipping cream, and milk to a medium heavy-bottomed pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Heat the butter and garlic in a separate pan. Cook for 1 minute, until the butter melts and the garlic is fragrant. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and stir until a smooth, thick roux forms.
  • Add the roux to the simmering corn mixture. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the mixture is thick and creamy.
  • Add the sugar, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt to the corn mixture. Stir until well combined.
  • Transfer the corn mixture to a casserole dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and crushed red chili flakes evenly over the top.
  • Bake the casserole for 10 minutes. Then broil for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned in spots.
  • Sprinkle the casserole with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • There’s no need to thaw frozen corn before using. It will thaw as it cooks with the dairy.
  • Scrape the bottom of the pot regularly as the corn mixture thickens to prevent the dairy from sticking or scorching.
  • If using salted butter, reduce or skip the added salt and season to taste.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melting and more even browning under the broiler.
  • Watch the casserole closely under the broiler, as the cheese can brown fast.
