Ingredients
- 4 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 3
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. Then, add the heavy cream and stir until smooth.
Step 5
Add the corn to the skillet and stir to coat it with the creamy sauce.
Step 6
Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and the dish is well-combined.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
