Because overcooking can cause this comforting pudding to separate, take it out of the oven when it's still slightly wiggly in the center. Then give it a quick flash under the broiler to brown it.
Ingredients
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Step 1
Arrange a rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Generously butter an 8x8x2" glass baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons cheese.
Step 2
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and skillet is dry, 5-7 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mushrooms to a small bowl; set aside. Wipe skillet clean.
Step 3
Using the large holes on a box grater, coarsely grate corn kernels from cobs into a large bowl (you should have about 2 cups).
Step 4
剩下的2大汤匙黄油融化在sa和石油me skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion; cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent (do not brown), 8-10 minutes. Stir in flour. Add grated corn; increase heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until most of liquid evaporates and corn is bright yellow, 2-3 minutes. Add cream; cook, stirring frequently, until well blended and most of liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in milk, ham, 3/4 cup cheese, and reserved mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until flavors begin to meld, 1-2 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Transfer corn mixture to a large bowl. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Add to corn mixture; stir gently to blend. Pour into prepared baking dish; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese. Set dish in a roasting pan; place in oven. Pour hot water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of baking dish (this will prevent eggs from curdling).
Step 6
Bake until pudding is just set in the center (center will jiggle very slightly when dish is nudged), 40-45 minutes. Use a ladle or turkey baster to remove about half of water from roasting pan to prevent any hot water from spilling when pan is lifted from oven. Remove roasting pan with pudding from oven. Remove baking dish from pan.
Step 7
Preheat broiler. Return pudding to oven; broil until top is golden brown in spots, 2-3 minutes. Let stand for at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes before serving.

Back to TopI tried this again for Thanksgiving but skipped the corn grating...agree it is absurd. I used frozen corn and per another reviewer put it thru my food processor a little bit. It was great - several guests said it was their favorite. I used shiitake as chanterelle we’re craving any expensive.

The corn-grating is absurd. I had corn bits in my hair and stuck to my glasses. But it was so delicious, I couldn't throw out the recipe. The second time I made it, I used frozen corn, buzzed it a bit in a food processor to simulate the grating. It came out perfectly. No need to scrub down the kitchen afterwards. (It was nice quality corn from a nearby farm that we'd frozen -- I'm not sure I'd try it with Bird's Eye.)

This was really good...nice combination of salty and sweet. It was just too time-consuming to be made frequently. I would make this special occasion only, like Easter or Mother's Day. But I will keep the recipe!

love this recipe, on the menu for ThxGiving but using Sausage rather than ham. Trick for re-heat is to put it in a small skillet, perhaps with your leftover stuffing, and add a couple tbspns water and cover, rather than the microwave. Works perfectly. Cut the corn closer to the cob and it reduces the mess, plus you get all the wonderful sugars and texture of the meal. Will follow up with the "Sausage" menu results - Happy Turkey Day!

I really enjoyed this - as always I made adjustments to suit my tastes as everyone should. Perfect texture, great combo of flavors, easy. Would be a good way to reinvent leftovers. As mentioned in recipe - will not reheat - curdles.

My husband made this last night for dinner. He used fat free 1/2 and 1/2 instead of cream or milk. It was a little runny from the 1/2 and 1/2 but the flavor was really, realy good. He made a mess grating the corn,lots of clean up but we will definitely be serving this again.
