SKILLET CORN



Skillet Corn image

Provided by Jonathan Reynolds

Categories     side dish

Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons safflower or vegetable oil
8 large ears of corn, shucked
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. When the oven is hot, pour the oil into a 9-inch cast-iron skillet and tilt the pan so that the oil coats the sides and bottom. Place the skillet in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the kernels from the cobs and place in a large bowl. (Jean uses the Lee's corn scraper on the previous page,but a sharp knife will do.) Using the sharp edge of a wide, heavy knife,scrape the cobs thoroughly so that the pulp and juice run into the bowl. (You should have about 7 cups.) Add the salt, cream and flour, and mix well.
  • Pour the sticky corn mixture into the scorching hot skillet, and press down with a spatula to flatten and compact it. Bake until the edges begin to brown and the top is browned in places, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Run a knife along the inside edge of the skillet to loosen the corn. Place a serving platter on top of the pan, carefully invert platter and pan,and lift off the pan.If the stars align,you will have a beautiful golden brown corn cake,but it might take a few tries before you perfect this (4 people tested this recipe; 1 got a flawless cake).If the mixture sticks to the pan,don't worry: just scrape it all into a bowl and mix lightly to disperse the crispy bits. It will still be delicious.

2 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1/4 cup salsa

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn will give your scramble a sweeter, more vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too much corn to the skillet, it will steam instead of sautéing. This will make your scramble mushy. Cook the corn in batches if necessary.
  • Season the corn well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices for seasoning corn. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as chili powder, cumin, or paprika.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs are tough and rubbery. Cook the eggs until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
  • Serve immediately. Corn scramble is best served hot out of the skillet. You can top it with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, salsa, or avocado.

Conclusion:

Corn scramble is a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast or brunch dish. It's also a great way to use up leftover corn. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious corn scramble that the whole family will love.
