Ingredients

– 4 large ears of fresh corn, husked and kernels removed
– 6 slices of bacon, chopped
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Fresh Corn and Bacon Side Dish:

1. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

2. Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add the diced onion to the remaining bacon drippings. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the onions become translucent.

3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, making sure not to burn it.

4. Incorporate the Corn: Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender.

5. Pour in the Cream: Slowly add the heavy cream to the corn mixture. Stir to combine and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

6. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Remember that the bacon will add saltiness, so adjust accordingly.

7. Combine with Bacon: Fold in the crispy bacon pieces, mixing them thoroughly with the corn. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.

8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley before serving.
