Equipment

  • 1 Casserole Dish
  • 1 Sharp Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Saucepan For warming cream and butter
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 8 ears Corn Still In The Husk
  • 2/3 cups Heavy Cream
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter salted
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt To Taste
  • ground pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Shuck the corn ears, removing all silk threads thoroughly.
  • Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the fresh corn kernels off each ear directly into a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, gently warm the heavy cream and melt the butter over low heat until just combined. Do not let it boil.
  • Pour the warm cream and butter mixture over the corn kernels in the bowl.
  • Season generously with 1/2 teaspoon salt and fresh ground pepper to taste, then stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Transfer the corn mixture evenly into a suitable casserole dish.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and lightly golden on top.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly.
  • Serve warm as a delightful and creamy side dish.

Notes

For optimal flavor, always use the freshest corn available. Consider briefly roasting or grilling the shucked corn before cutting off the kernels; this adds a smoky depth that elevates the dish beyond a simple casserole. Be mindful not to overcook the casserole, as this can diminish the corn's natural sweetness and make the texture mealy. A touch of freshly chopped chives or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese just before serving can add a lovely aromatic and savory finish. Taste and adjust seasoning (salt and pepper) precisely; fresh corn shines with just the right balance.
