Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Corn

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon butter, or as needed, divided
2 cups corn
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup cold milk
3 egg yolks
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter six 6-ounce glass or ceramic ramekins. Set ramekins into a 2-inch deep baking dish.
  • Place corn into a large saucepan and stir in cream, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat; stir in milk.
  • Transfer corn mixture to a blender and pulse several times to get the mixture moving. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
  • Whisk egg yolks with eggs until smooth in a mixing bowl. Slowly whisk about 1/4 cup hot corn mixture into eggs until the corn mixture is incorporated. Repeat several times more until all the corn mixture is combined with eggs.
  • Divide corn mixture equally into the 6 ramekins. Pour hot tap water into the baking dish to come about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until custards are just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Let custards cool for about 10 minutes before serving in ramekins or unmolding onto serving plates. To unmold, insert a knife between the custard and the ramekin, go around the edge with knife to loosen, and turn over onto a plate to unmold.

MEXICAN SCALLOPED CORN



Mexican Scalloped Corn image

Make and share this Mexican Scalloped Corn recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Donnilyn

Categories     Corn

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans whole kernel corn
2/3 cup cracker, crushed
1/2 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine

Steps:

  • Mix all of the ingredients together except for the margarine. Place in small casserole; dot with margarine and bake at 375 degrees for about 30-40 minutes until bubbly around the edges and no longer wiggles in the middle!
  • P.S. I initially substituted the sour cream with 2 of those "topping" packets you get with Hamburger Helper Enchilada dinners (which is part of our snack night served with tortilla chips and Mex. condiments. (We don't like it as a topping), but it worked fine in this recipe.

Tips:

  • For a smooth custard, use fresh corn kernels. Frozen or canned corn can also be used, but the texture will be slightly different.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can mash the corn kernels with a fork or potato masher.
  • Be sure to grease the baking dish before pouring in the custard. This will prevent the custard from sticking.
  • Bake the custard in a water bath. This will help to prevent the custard from curdling.
  • The custard is done when it is set in the center and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Corn Custard Mexicana is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn, and it can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With its creamy texture and flavorful filling, Corn Custard Mexicana is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
