Easy Corn Pudding

(1)

This easy Southern-style corn pudding is a great way to use up fresh corn if you've got it! But to speed up the prep time, frozen corn kernels work just as well. This simple casserole is light and savory-sweet. It's the perfect companion for grilled or roasted chicken, pork or steak or can stand on its own as a vegetarian main dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 6 cups fresh corn kernels (about 7 ears) or thawed frozen corn

  • 1 ½ cups chopped sweet onion

  • 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic

  • 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ¾ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 8 large eggs

  • 3 cups whole milk

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh chives

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn, onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish.

  2. Combine cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk eggs and milk in a large bowl. Add the cornstarch mixture and chives to the egg mixture; whisk to combine. Pour the mixture over the corn in the baking dish.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
