How to Make Baked Corn Pudding

  1. Melt 1/4 cup (6 tablespoons) butter in a 5-quart saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color).
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly (about 1-2 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat.
  7. Add 4 cups (2 (15 ounce) cans) corn kernels, 4 large eggs, and 2 cups whole milk, stirring until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  8. Pour the corn mixture into a shallow, buttered 3-quart baking dish.
  9. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
