Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 5 ears of corn)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.75 cups crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the fresh corn kernels and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and lightly caramelized.
Reduce heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine evenly.
Simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly.
Turn off the heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese until it melts slightly and coats the corn.
Season with black pepper, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust the seasonings to taste.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top as a garnish just before serving.
Serve warm as a delightful side dish to grilled meats, fish, or vegetarian entrées.
