5 Star Creamed Corn

KitchenMistress's Note:

Served at the 5 Star PIERO'S Italian Restaurant in Las Vegas! This is the original recipe for the most delicious creamed corn (not sweet) you'll ever taste. Given to me by the kind executive chef of Piero's, Las Vegas. The recipe is so incredibly simple but the taste is out of this world. Not at all sticky sweet or mushy like canned cream corn, rather barely sweet, but just enough to make you know you are eating something very special. You can't go wrong with this dish. Super simple, elegant and impressive.

This corn is absolutely fantastic! And very easy to make also. When broiling the cheese topping you need to be very careful for if it's browned too much it is tough and chewy and hard to cut. The corn is also great on its own without the cheese. Thanks for posting this recipe. I`ll be making it for Christmas dinner this year!
