About the Recipe

Ingredients
2 cups corn kernels, blanched
3 leeks, julienned
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup Parmesan cheese
1 pinch salt & pepper
Slurry
Topping:
5 green onions, sliced ¼" thick
4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup Panko bread
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F
Steam corn off for about 3 to 4 minutes. Strain and add to a small bowl; set aside
Wash the leeks well, making sure to remove all the grit and sand which is hidden between the leaves. On a cutting board, cut the leeks in half lengthwise, then slice them into half moons
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat; add the oil, leeks, and sauté until soft. Add the blanched corn and continue to cook for about 5 minutes allowing any water to evaporate; add the heavy cream, thicken with the slurry
Then add the Parmesan and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to an oven-proof casserole dish
Mix the Panko breadcrumbs, green onions, and parsley in a small bowl. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the leeks and corn and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes
Remove from the oven, let stand for 5 minutes and serve
