Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt fully and the oil to heat up.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and caramelized.
While the corn is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk together with the milk, salt, and pepper until well-combined.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the sautéed corn. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to begin setting.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs and corn, bringing the cooked edges toward the center of the skillet to scramble. Repeat this process until the eggs are just set and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chopped green onions and parsley. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs and gently fold it in.
Remove the skillet from the heat to avoid overcooking. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley or green onions, if desired. Pair with toast or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
