Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh corn kernels (from about 4 ears of corn)
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 3 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized ovenproof casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the corn kernels and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the flour, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and free of lumps.

Step 5

Fold in the sautéed corn, chopped chives, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in a large roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish to create a water bath.

Step 8

Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife or toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove the baking dish from the roasting pan and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chives, if desired.
