How to Make Amish Corn and Cheese Pudding
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Custard Base
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, flour, salt, and pepper until smooth. This mixture forms the creamy foundation of the pudding.
Step 3: Add Corn and Cheese
Stir in the whole-kernel corn, creamed corn, and shredded cheese until evenly combined.
Step 4: Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Step 5: Rest Before Serving
Let the pudding rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows it to firm up slightly while remaining creamy inside.
