1. Boil the corn. Place the corn in water and boil until soft and tender. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the garlic butter base. Melt butter in a pan and add chopped garlic. Cook until light golden and fragrant.

3. Make the creamy sauce. Stir in flour and cook briefly, then slowly pour in milk while whisking until it turns thick and smooth.

4. Mix in the corn and cheese. Add the boiled corn, stir well, then grate cheese over the mixture. Let it melt into a creamy, cheesy sauce.

5. Season and finish. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, chili flakes, and oregano. Stir everything together and serve warm.

Cooking this way not only makes the sauce rich and smooth, but it also ensures that every single corn kernel is coated in cheesy goodness.

Tips & Variations

Try different cheeses: Mozzarella makes it stretchy, while cheddar gives it a sharp flavor. Use whatever you like best.
Adjust the spice: Add more chili flakes if you enjoy heat, or keep it mild for a kid-friendly version.
Add extra veggies: Mix in peas, bell peppers, or even mushrooms for more color and nutrition.

Serving & Storage Suggestions

Serve this creamy cheesy corn hot, straight from the pan. It tastes wonderful as a snack on its own or as a side with grilled chicken, sandwiches, or even pasta.

If you’re making it for a gathering, transfer it to a serving bowl and garnish with extra herbs or cheese on top.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm it gently in a pan with a splash of milk to bring back the creamy texture.
