Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts and foams.

  2. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

  3. Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, for about 6 to 8 minutes until the corn is tender and lightly browned in spots.

  4. Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the milk. Simmer gently, stirring, for about 3 minutes until the milk thickens slightly and coats the corn.

  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter until melted.

  6. Fold in the crumbled blue cheese until it softens and partly melts into the corn, about 1 minute.

  7. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.
