Creamed Corn
Description
Creamed Corn combines thawed frozen corn with a classic cream sauce made by melting butter and whisking in flour to form a roux. Heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar are gradually added and cooked until thickened, creating a smooth base. Seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper gives depth, while grated Parmesan adds a gentle savory note.
The corn is stirred in last, allowing its natural sweetness and texture to blend into the creamy sauce. The dish can be served immediately or kept warm in a slow cooker, and garnished with fresh herbs for visual appeal.
This side can be prepared a few days ahead and gently reheated in a microwave or oven without losing its creamy consistency, making it convenient for busy meals or entertaining.
