I first ate this dish at a Brazilian restaurant and tried to recreate it at home. It turned out very cheesy and has a wonderful flavor.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 cups cream
1 ¾ cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 yellow onion, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 (7 ounce) can hearts of palm, rinsed, drained, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (15.25 ounce) can Mexican-style corn, drained
1 cup arugula
1 (15 ounce) can green beans, drained
salt to taste
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Combine the butter and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat; heat together until the butter melts completely. Add the cream into the butter mixture and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Melt 1 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese into the cream mixture. Stir in the onion and remove from heat.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the mushrooms in the oil until they begin to brown. Stir in the hearts of palm, Mexican-style corn, arugula, and green beans; add to the cream mixture; season with salt; transfer to a large baking dish; top with 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
Bake on top rack in the preheated oven until the cheese has browned, 40 to 50 minutes.
