Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cornflakes (crushed to 1 cup)
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
  • 4 green onions (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed cornflakes with 4 tablespoons of melted butter; mix well and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over low heat, melt the remaining butter and sauté sliced green onions until soft.
  3. Add flour, salt, and pepper to the skillet; stir continuously while gradually adding heavy whipping cream and half-and-half until smooth. Increase heat to medium and cook until thickened.
  4. Lower heat again, add shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce mixture, stirring until melted. Fold in cooked carrots and parsley flakes.
