Cheesy Corn Pudding: The Ultimate Comfort Side That Steals the Show

 



How to Make Cheesy Corn Pudding

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, pepper, and sugar (if using).

Step 3: Add Corn and Cheese

Stir in the corn, shredded cheese, and flour or cornmeal until evenly combined.

Step 4: Bake

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

Let the pudding rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. This allows it to firm up while staying creamy inside.

Tips for Perfect Corn Pudding

  • Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded
