I believe I doubled the recipe-I added 1 lb. of frozen kernels, and doubled all of the ingredients, except I had a 6 oz. tub of feta, so didn't quite double the feta. My DH and I liked this very much, but alas-too much of a different taste for my young DS's so they didn't care for it. I expected that this would have been much richer than it was, but the feta gave this an interesting bite. Thanks chia!

This is fantastic, chia. It even worked with a lowered fat content (2 tsp olive oil, no butter, fat free half & half, 2 oz feta). I was glad the store had fresh corn on the cob (yum!), but they didn't have any fresh rosemary so I used dried. I'm really pleased with this dish-- thanks for posting. -- posted May 4, 2005 UPDATE: Just adding that I've just had leftovers of this corn, and it reheats really well, which means it would make a great make-ahead dish.
