Ingredients
Scale
- For the Creamed Corn:
- ⅓ cup butter – adds a silky base to the sauce.
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour – thickens the cream sauce beautifully.
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream – creates a rich, velvety texture.
- 1 cup whole milk – balances the richness of the cream.
- ¼ cup sugar – enhances the natural sweetness of the corn.
- Salt and pepper, to taste – perfects the seasoning.
- 5 cups frozen corn, thawed – the star of the dish, bursting with sweetness.
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided – adds a nutty, savory kick.
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Make the Roux: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour until a smooth paste forms.
- Create the Sauce: Gradually whisk in heavy whipping cream, whole milk, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cook for 2 minutes until thickened.
- Add Corn and Cheese: Stir in the thawed corn and ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese. Reduce heat and cook until the cheese has melted.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Bake and Broil: Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until bubbly. For a golden, crispy top, place the dish under the broiler for a few minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, and serve warm.
Notes
- Fresh corn can be used instead of frozen for an even fresher flavor.
- For a smoky twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the cream sauce
