Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 cups Button mushrooms (or cremini, sliced)
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 teaspoons Fresh thyme or parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine the corn kernels, eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, creating a custard base.

Step 2

Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a microwave-safe bowl or dish to remove any solids, ensuring a smooth custard texture.

Step 3

Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.

Step 4

Microwave the custard mixture at 50% power for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring every minute to ensure even cooking. The custard is done when it is slightly wobbly in the center but set around the edges.

Step 5

While the custard is cooking, prepare the herbed mushrooms. In a microwave-safe dish, combine the sliced mushrooms, olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat.

Step 6

Microwave the mushrooms on high power for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and have released their juices.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh thyme or parsley to the cooked mushrooms for added flavor.

Step 8

Once the custard is cooked, let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon the herbed mushrooms over the top.

Step 9

Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top for extra richness, if desired, and serve warm.
