Easy Creamed Corn

Step 1

Heat a medium size saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Melt butter. Add minced onion and cook until softened.

Step 3

Meanwhile prepare the corn: If using fresh, cut the corn from the cob and using the flat part of the blade scrape the cob to get as much of the milk from the cob as possible. If using frozen, thaw the corn according to directions and drain any excess moisture. If using canned, drain the corn.

Step 4

Add the garlic and corn to the saucepan. Pour in the half and half. Stir to combine. If using fresh corn allow the corn to cook about 5 minutes to soften before moving on to the next step.

Step 5

Remove 1 cup of the corn and blend using a blender or food processor. Can also use an immersion blender and blend to desired consistency in the pot.

Step 6

Add blended corn back to the saucepan. Bring mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.

Step 7

Remove from the heat, add in the fresh grated parmesan. Stir while the parmesan melts into the corn.

Step 8

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve warm.
