Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
- 1 medium leek, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the sliced leek and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove the leeks from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the mustard, salt, and pepper to the sauce, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and creamy.
Add the cooked leeks and the corn kernels to the cheese sauce, stirring to coat everything evenly. Allow the mixture to heat through for 3–5 minutes.
Transfer the corn mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
