Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups (473ml) half-and-half
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 cup (120g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 5 cups (20oz) corn kernels thawed if frozen
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F / 175 degrees C and lightly oil a 9x13 baking pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, corn starch, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
  • Beat the eggs in a separate large mixing bowl, then stir in the half-and-half, melted butter and cheese.
  • Add in the spiced flour mixture and stir until completely combined and smooth.
  • Fold in the corn and green onions and then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Tap gently so the batter evens out.
  • Bake for about 35 -38 minutes until the pudding is golden brown around the edges. Test by inserting a toothpick or skewer in the center. The casserole is done when it comes out clean.
  • Cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve warm or cold.

Notes

    • While you can use canned corn in a pinch, fresh or frozen corn kernels are the best choice for this recipe. Corn cut fresh from the ears has a sweeter, more vibrant flavor and texture.
    • If using frozen corn, make sure to thaw it completely and drain any excess moisture. You don't want excess liquid in your casserole.
    • To reduce calories, use a bit less cheese and replace some of the cream with milk.
    • Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before making this recipe.
    • Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese to suit your preference. If you love an extra cheesy casserole, add a bit more shredded cheddar.
    • Grease the baking dish generously to prevent sticking. You can use butter, cooking spray, or a light coating of oil.
    • Add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar or maple syrup if you want a sweeter corn pudding.
    • Allow the corn pudding casserole to rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
    • Serve this hot or cold. Both are delicious options.
    • Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 5 days.
