Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 5 ears of corn)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn and use a sharp knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Measure out 4 cups of corn kernels and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted and sizzling, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet. Stir to coat the corn in butter and garlic, then cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, honey, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Simmer gently for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Step 5
Taste the corn and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the green onions. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for added richness.
Step 7
Serve Madeline's Favorite Corn warm as a side dish, and enjoy its creamy, flavorful perfection.
