Ingredients
- 20 oz frozen corn kernels or 2 15 oz cans canned corn - drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons white sugar brown sugar can be used for a deeper caramely flavor
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme optional
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary optional
- 1/2 cup to 1 cup Parmesan cheese depends how thick and cheesy you want it
Cornstarch Mix
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
Instructions
Prepare the Corn:
- If using frozen corn, thaw it. To speed this up, place the bag with corn in a deep casserole dish under running warm water. Open the corn bag and drain any excess of water from the corn, using a colander.
- If using canned corn, drain it.
Cook:
- Place a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat, once hot add the butter and melt it.
- Once the butter has been melted, add the corn kernels, sugar, cream, salt, pepper and herbs if using. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook the mixture for 3 minutes.
Cornstarch Mix:
- In a medium bowl combine milk with cornstarch (or flour) and whisk until fully combined.
- Add the mixture to the pan and stir to combine. Continue to cook stirring until the mixture has thicker and the corn is cooked and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- If the mixture is too thick, add more milk or cream, 1/4 cup at a time.
- If the mixture is too thin, mix another 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until fully dissolved and add the mixture to the pan. Stir and bring to a simmer. Keep in mind that the mixture will thicken more as it cools.
Add cheese:
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded parmesan cheese. Stir until fully combined and creamy. Keep in mind that the mixture will thicken more as it cools.
