Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. Then, add the heavy cream and stir until smooth.
Add the corn to the skillet and stir to coat it with the creamy sauce.
Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and the dish is well-combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
