Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cobs. If using frozen or canned corn, ensure it is thawed or drained.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper, followed by the corn kernels. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Pour the creamed corn mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and olive oil until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the creamed corn.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Summit House Classic Creamed Corn Au Gratin!
