Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 8 ears fresh corn, husks removed
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 ounces finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 cup), divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves, divided

Instruction

  • Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F.
  • Cut the kernels off corn cobs and transfer to a large bowl. Use a butter knife to scrape the cobs clean, collecting the milk and any bits of corn kernel into the bowl. You should have about 5 cups kernels.
  • Add the egg, half-and-half, salt, half the Parmesan, and half the basil and stir to combine. Transfer mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish (or 2-quart baking dish) and spread into an even layer. Top with the remaining Parmesan.
  • Bake until bubbling, fragrant, and the corn color intensifies, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Top with the remaining basil and serve.
