PARMESAN-CRUSTED CREAMED CORN
Ingredients
6 Tablespoons unsalted buttter, metlted
2/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1- and-a-half cups heavy cream
2-16 ounce packages frozen white corn, defrosted
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9×13 baking dish with some of the butter. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the cheese over the bottom of the dish and tilt so the cheese is evenly distributed and adheres to the butter. You can also use 10- 4 oz. ramekins for individual servings. In a large saucepan, heat the cream until it begins to boil. Add the corn, salt, and sugar; and heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is almost at a boil. In the meantime, make a paste out of the remaining melted butter and the flour. Stir it into the mixture in the saucepan and cook until thickened and the liquid comes to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat, transfer the mixture to the prepared dish (or ramekins), and sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup of parmesan. *At this point you can let cool, cover, refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Bring to room temperature before continuing. Bake the corn until bubbling and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Individual ramekins will take about 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately.
