Ingredients

• 3 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain. If using canned corn, drain and rinse. Measure out 3 cups of corn.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns golden and bubbly.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Season the sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Add the corn kernels to the cheese sauce, folding gently to coat them evenly. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the corn mixture.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
