Servings: persons

Butter for greasing the dish
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs to coat the bottom of the dish
8 medium-sized ears of corn, kernels removed from the cob
1 cup butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup whole milk
6 large eggs
4 ounces queso fresco
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
FOR THE SAUCE:
3 peeled cloves garlic
4 medium tomatillos, husked, rinsed and cut in half
2 canned chipotle chiles en adobo
salt to taste

1
PREP: Preheat the oven to 350. Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and then cover the bottom with an even layer of bread crumbs. With a sharp knife, cut the corn off of the cobs into a large bowl (or the bowl of a food processor if you have one).
2
COMBINE: Add remaining ingredients to the corn and stir to combine. If you are using a food processor, pulse until mixture is smooth. If you do not have a food processor, puree the mixture in batches in a blender until smooth.
3
COOK: Pour the corn mixture into the baking pan and bake 1 hour.
4
WHILE CORN PUDDING COOKS, MAKE THE SAUCE: Lay garlic and tomatillos (cut-side down) in a non-stick skillet and saute over MEDIUM HIGH heat until tomatillos are brown, about 4 minutes. Turn over and brown the other side. Transfer everything to a blender. Add chiles + 1/4 cup water and blend until coarse. Season with salt to taste. Pour into a serving bowl and serve at room temperature.
5
SERVE: Serve corn pudding warm with smoky chipotle sauce drizzled to taste. It is nice and hot, so start off with just a little.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
