Corn custard is a wonderful side dish for all kinds of meats. Since it is so soft and light, texturally, it makes a great foil for things like barbecue pork, grilled steaks, and fried fish.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon butter, or as needed, divided
2 cups corn
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup cold milk
3 egg yolks
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter six 6-ounce glass or ceramic ramekins. Set ramekins into a 2-inch deep baking dish.
  • Place corn into a large saucepan and stir in cream, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat; stir in milk.
  • Transfer corn mixture to a blender and pulse several times to get the mixture moving. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
  • Whisk egg yolks with eggs until smooth in a mixing bowl. Slowly whisk about 1/4 cup hot corn mixture into eggs until the corn mixture is incorporated. Repeat several times more until all the corn mixture is combined with eggs.
  • Divide corn mixture equally into the 6 ramekins. Pour hot tap water into the baking dish to come about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until custards are just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Let custards cool for about 10 minutes before serving in ramekins or unmolding onto serving plates. To unmold, insert a knife between the custard and the ramekin, go around the edge with knife to loosen, and turn over onto a plate to unmold.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CORN CREAM



Seared Scallops with Corn Cream image

This recipe for seared scallops on fresh corn cream shows that you can take a few seasonal ingredients, put them together simply and quickly, and produce something pretty special. There are three keys to producing sufficiently seared scallops. First, they must be perfectly dry. Second, the oil goes on the cold scallops, not in the hot pan. Third, your pan must be extremely hot, which means you have to use a very heavy, cast iron or stainless steel pan.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ears fresh white corn, kernels cut from cob
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
12 large sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1 red Fresno pepper, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon smoked paprika, or to taste
1 splash water
1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste
½ lemon, juiced
¼ cup radish sprouts, or to taste

Steps:

  • Stir corn kernels, chicken broth, 2 tablespoons butter, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour corn mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Pour pureed corn mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan. Season with salt to taste.
  • Toss scallops, Fresno pepper, canola oil, kosher salt, and smoked paprika in a bowl until scallops are completely coated. Separate pepper slices from scallops.
  • Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Cook scallops in hot skillet until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Cook and stir sliced peppers on the side of the skillet while the scallops are cooking.
  • Remove skillet from heat; transfer scallops to a plate, leaving peppers in hot skillet. Stir water and 1 tablespoon butter into peppers until butter melts. Drizzle lemon juice over peppers; stir to glaze peppers completely.
  • Divide corn cream between four bowls. Place 3 scallops over corn puree and top with glazed peppers. Garnish with radish sprouts.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen corn kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the corn: The corn should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make the corn mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main flavors in this dish, so use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use Monterey Jack, Swiss, or Parmesan cheese.
  • Add some spice: If you like a little spice, you can add some chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper to the recipe. This will give the corn pudding a little kick.
  • Serve immediately: Corn pudding is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can also make it ahead of time and reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.

Conclusion:

Chef John's Creamy Corn Pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh corn, cream, eggs, and cheese, and it has a creamy, slightly sweet flavor. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
