¼ cup diced jalapeños, or 1 4-ounce can of diced green chiles
•
2 large ears corn kernels, or 1 can of corn, drained
•
4 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for the pan
•
¾ cup heavy cream
•
2 tablespoons cornstarch
•
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
•
30 oz cream-style corn
•
6 large eggs
•
kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180 °C). Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) baking pan with butter.
In a large bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the heavy cream until smooth. Add 1½ cups (150 g) of cheddar, the creamed corn, fresh corn, jalapeños, melted butter, eggs, and salt and stir well. Taste and add more salt, if necessary.
Pour the pudding into the baking pan and top with the remaining ½ cup cheddar.
Bake until set, 45-50 minutes. Fire up the broiler and broil until the top is browned, 1-2 minutes.
