Summit House Classic Creamed Corn Au Gratin

Summit House Classic Creamed Corn Au Gratin starts with corn kernels simmered in whipping cream with a little sugar and white pepper.

A butter and flour roux thickens the cream before the corn goes into a casserole dish to brown under the broiler with Parmesan on top.

Method

 

1. Combine the corn, cream, salt, sugar, and white pepper in a pot. Bring to a boil.

5. Sprinkle with Parmesan and broil until browned.
