Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt fully and the oil to heat up.
Step 2
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and caramelized.
Step 3
While the corn is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk together with the milk, salt, and pepper until well-combined.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the sautéed corn. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to begin setting.
Step 5
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs and corn, bringing the cooked edges toward the center of the skillet to scramble. Repeat this process until the eggs are just set and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the chopped green onions and parsley. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs and gently fold it in.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat to avoid overcooking. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley or green onions, if desired. Pair with toast or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
