Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

Corn

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 2 (14.75 ounce) cans cream-style corn

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, lightly whisk the 5 large eggs until they are combined but not frothy, creating the base for the pudding.
  3. Add Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the ½ cup milk, ⅓ cup melted butter, ¼ cup white sugar, and ¼ cup cornstarch to the eggs. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Incorporate Corn: Stir in the drained whole kernel corn and the cream-style corn cans gradually, ensuring all components are fully blended together into a uniform batter.
  5. Transfer and Bake: Pour the completed corn mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set, about 1 hour.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is melted but slightly cooled to prevent cooking the eggs prematurely when mixed.
  • Use a 2-quart casserole dish for best results to maintain thickness and cooking time.
  • Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes after baking so it can set well and be easier to serve.
  • This dish can be prepared a few hours ahead and baked just before serving.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute whole milk with heavy cream if desired.
