Ingredients

• 4 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a medium-sized baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

If using canned or frozen corn, drain or thaw the corn and pat dry. Fresh corn should be cooked and the kernels removed from the cob.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the sugar, salt, black pepper, and corn kernels. Mix well until the corn is evenly coated in the creamy mixture.

Step 6

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

Step 7

In a small skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the creamed corn in the baking dish. Follow with the grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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