Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned, drained
  • 1 can 4 oz diced green chiles (mild or medium, depending on your heat preference)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin optional, for extra depth of flavor
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional, for a cheesy version
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.

Prepare the Corn Mixture:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
  • Add the corn kernels and diced green chiles, stirring to mix them evenly into the liquid mixture.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin (if using).
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Add Cheese (Optional):

  • If you’re making a cheesy version, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese at this stage.
  • Pour and Bake:

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

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the pudding is set in the center and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.

Cool and Serve:

  • Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. The texture will be creamy and soft, with a slight firmness.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.

Notes

Serve warm as a side dish with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or even as part of a festive holiday meal. It pairs especially well with dishes that have rich or smoky flavors.
This timing allows for a quick assembly of ingredients and a baking period that ensures the pudding is set and lightly golden.
