Ingredients
- 3 cups sweet corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish and set it aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to form a roux.
Step 3
Gradually add the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Lower the heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Remove the sauce from heat.
Step 5
Add the corn kernels to the cheese sauce and stir to coat evenly. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheesy corn.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Corn with a Crunch!
