Parmesan Crusted Creamed Corn Recipes

PARMESAN-CRUSTED CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°; brush a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with some of the butter.
• Sprinkle 1/3 cup of cheese over the bottom of the dish and tilt so the cheese is evenly distributed and adheres to the butter.
• In a big saucepan, heat the cream until it begins to boil; add in the corn, salt, and sugar; 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 into the mixture in the saucepan and cook until thickened and the liquid comes to a boil.
• Remove pan from heat; transfer mixture to toe baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup cheese.
• **At this point, you can let cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month; bring to room temperature before continuing.
• Bake about 30 minutes, until corn is bubbling and golden; serve immediately.

OLD FASHIONED CREAMED CORN WITH PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Add frozen corn, half and half, salt, granulated white sugar, pats of butter, and black pepper to a large cast iron skillet.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk and flour and add to skillet corn mixture.
• On medium heat, cook corn until bubbling, stirring frequently.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to heat/boil and stir frequently until mixture is thickened-. This process takes about 5 minutes. If corn hasn't thickened yet, turn down the heat even further and monitor another few minutes.
• Remove creamed corn from stove heat and add shredded Parmesan cheese and mix together until the heat from the dish melts the cheese.
• Serve creamed corn topped with fresh parsley or one of the other suggestions below.

GRILLED CREAM CORN WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
• Grill the corn until tender, turning every 5 to 6 minutes, about 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the kernels.
• In a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the corn and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the cream. Simmer until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Place half of the mixture in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Pour the pureed mixture back into the skillet and add the milk, cheese, and parsley. Cook over low heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
