Ingredients

2 cups fresh corn kernels
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter plus more for the pan
2 tablespoons unbleached white flour
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 slices thick bacon, fried crisp and crumbled

Steps:

Soak the corn in the milk for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter a 1 quart baking dish. Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour; cook it for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring. Drain the corn and whisk the reserved milk into the flour mixture. Simmer it until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the eggs. Stir in the corn, salt, pepper, and bacon. Pour the corn mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake it until brown on top and firm to the touch, about 45 minutes. Let it cool for 10 minutes before spooning it into bowls and topping it with green onions.

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 large eggs
4 tablespoons butter (melted)
2 tablespoons flour (level)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 (14 3/4 ounce) cans creamed corn
8 ounces light cream
3 slices bacon (crispy)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Grease a 2-quart baking dish with margarine (Discard excess).
Cook 3 slices of bacon until crispy. (Discard drippings).
Chop bacon into small pieces.
Melt butter (I use the microwave for approximately 25 seconds on high).
Beat eggs, butter and spices together in a 2-quart bowl.
Then add flour, creamed corn, light cream, & bacon and mix together until flour lumps are smooth.
Pour mixture into the baking dish.
Bake for 90 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
As it cools, the corn pudding deflates.
Serve warm. (I love it chilled too!).
Enjoy!

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh corn, bacon, and cheddar cheese will all make a big difference in the final dish.
Don't overcook the corn. The corn should be cooked just until it is tender, but not mushy. Otherwise, it will lose its sweetness and flavor.
Use a good quality cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese will give the pudding a rich, cheesy flavor.
Don't be afraid to add some spice. A little bit of cayenne pepper or paprika can add a nice kick to the pudding.
Serve the pudding immediately. Corn pudding is best when it is served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Cheddar corn pudding with bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover corn and bacon, and it is always a hit with family and friends. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
