Ingredients
- Corn: 4 cups fresh corn kernels (or 2 cans of sweet corn, drained)
- Butter: 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Flour: 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Milk: 2 cups whole milk
- Heavy Cream: 1 cup heavy cream
- Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Parmesan Cheese: 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Seasoning: 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until it forms a roux.
- Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the corn, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the dish to set slightly.
