A comforting and easy creamy corn pudding casserole with a golden crust, perfect for busy weeknights or gatherings. This dish combines a silky custard with sweet corn and a crispy cheddar topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (15 oz / 425 g) cans whole kernel corn, drained (or 2 cups fresh corn kernels)
  • 1 (15 oz / 425 g) can creamed corn
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream or half-and-half (or dairy-free milk alternative)
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn and the creamed corn. Stir gently to keep some texture.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream (or half-and-half), sugar, salt, and pepper until fully blended and slightly frothy.
  4. Slowly pour the custard into the corn mixture and fold gently to combine evenly without overmixing.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smooth the top, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly, then drizzle melted butter on top.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes until edges bubble and top is golden brown. Insert a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes before serving to set for cleaner slices and richer flavor.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for a smooth custard. Do not overmix to keep corn texture. Grease baking dish well to prevent sticking and promote even browning. Drizzle melted butter on top for a golden crust. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Broil last 1-2 minutes for extra crispy top. Fresh corn can be used but may require longer baking time. Can be made dairy-free by substituting cream and cheese.
