Calories: 174kcal
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons butter I like Truly Grass Fed brand
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 30 ounces canned corn, drained and rinsed (2) 15 ounce cans
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme, leaves stripped from the stems.
Instructions
- Add butter to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occassionally.
- You should be able to see the color change as it cooks. It should take about 5 minutes.
- Brown butter can burn, and it happens quickly, so keep your eyes on it, especially during those last few minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the butter and stir until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the two cans of corn (drained and rinsed).
- Add the salt, pepper and stir to combine.
- Cook for 5 minutes until the corn is heated through.
- Remove from heat and stir in thyme leaves.
- Serve the Brown Buttered Corn immediatetly.
Notes
- This Buttered Corn recipe is still delicious with regular old melted butter! Just melt it in the saucepan then add the garlic as noted above. The rest of the instructions would remain the same.
- While I have only used canned corn, this recipe should also work with corn off the cob and frozen corn! I would thaw the frozen corn and pour off any extra liquid before adding to the browned butter. And fresh corn may require more cooking time.
- You can substitute the thyme with rosemary (finely chopped) or even basil. Sage would also be quite tasty and would make this a great side dish for Thanksgiving!
- This recipe is super easy to double or triple depending on the size of the crowd you are serving!
- Store any Brown Buttered Corn leftovers in the fridge in an air-tight container. The butter will turn into a solid when cooled. To serve, simply reheat until melted through. Use within a few days.
