Jalapeno Creamed Corn
The perfect corn side dish with a jalapeño kick and a crunchy, cheesy crust.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons AP flour
- 2 cups half & half
- 3 teaspoons Hardcore Carnivore Texas Jalapeno Salt
- 2 fresh jalapenos, finely diced (optional)
- 16 oz fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese
Method:
- Place the butter into a skillet set over medium-high heat, and melt.
- Sprinkle the flour on top of the melted butter. Slowly add the half & half a little at a time, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the Jalapeno Salt.
- Add the fresh jalapeno if using, and the corn. Stir, then bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes to plump the corn.
- Scatter the cotija cheese evenly across the top, then place the skillet under the broiler for 2-4 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
