Ingredients
- 5 ears of shucked corn
- 6 strips of sliced bacon
- ½ peeled small diced yellow onion
- 3 cloves finely minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
- coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Shuck the fresh ears of corn, stand it upright, and, using a chef's knife, slice down on the corn kernels to cut them away from the cob.
- Give the cob a ¼ turn and continue slicing down, removing the kernels. Repeat the process with the other ears of shucked corn.
- Now, stand the kernel-free corn cobs upright and, using the back side of your chef knife scrape down on the cobs to release the corn milk. Give the cob a ¼ turn and continue scraping down. Set the corn kernels and corn milk aside.
- Add the bacon lardons to a large-sized sauce pot over medium heat and cook while stirring occasionally to render the fat and crisp up the bacon.
- Set the crispy bacon lardons to the side add the onion to the pan, and sauté for 7 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds or until fragrant.
- Next, add the corn and sauté on high heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in the flour until combined.
- Pour in the cream and milk and cook over low to medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes, occasionally stirring until corn kernels are cooked. It may take an additional 4 to 6 minutes depending on how soft you like your corn.
- Finish by stirring in the parmigiano cheese, fresh thyme, crisp cooked bacon lardons, salt, and pepper.
- Garnish with optional parmigiana cheese, crispy bacon lardons, chopped chives, and fresh thyme leaves.
