Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups canned corn, drained
• 2 cups frozen corn, thawed
• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or cooking spray, and set aside.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and bubbling, but not browned.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream. Continue whisking and cooking until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper to season the sauce.

Step 5

Add both the canned corn and thawed frozen corn to the saucepan, stirring until well combined and heated through.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese until melted and evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the creamed corn mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the creamed corn.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
