Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 large shallot
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

1. Shuck the corn and use a sharp knife to slice off the kernels into a large bowl. Set the kernels aside.

Step 2

2. Finely dice the shallot and mince the garlic cloves. Also, finely chop the parsley for garnish.

Step 3

3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to bubble. Add the diced shallot and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

4. Stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

5. Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the butter mixture. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn begins to soften and develop a slight golden color.

Step 6

6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine, allowing the cream to reduce slightly and thicken, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

7. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and fully incorporated.

Step 8

8. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Napa Valley Corn to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
