DIRECTIONS:

Cook the bacon pieces in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; set aside. Remove and discard all but 2 tablespoons rendered bacon fat from the pan.

Add the shallot and cook until softened but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Stir in the corn kernels and pulp as well as the cream, thyme and cayenne.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, adjusting the heat as necessary and stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the mixture has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese and bacon. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

* Substitute low-fat milk for cream and cut calories. It may take longer for mixture to thicken.
