Main Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups corn kernels

Jalapeño Cream Sauce:

  • 2 fresh jalapeños, minced (seeds removed, if desired)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onion and cook until soft, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  2. Cook the corn: Stir in corn and continue cooking for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add jalapeños and cook 5 minutes more.
