Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 4 cups frozen sweet corn
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.75 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 3

Add the frozen sweet corn to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded Swiss cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Season the mixture with nutmeg, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour the corn mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

Step 10

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