Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 whole Large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 teaspoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small ramekin or ovenproof dish with the unsalted butter.
If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, defrost and drain any excess water.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, and egg until smooth and well-combined.
Add the flour, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk again to ensure there are no lumps and the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Stir in the sweet corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekin, leaving a little space at the top to prevent overflow during baking.
Place the ramekin into a larger baking dish. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekin, creating a water bath to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the custard is set and slightly golden on top. It should still have a slight jiggle in the center when you gently shake the ramekin.
Carefully remove the ramekin from the water bath and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your warm and savory Chili Corn Custard Solo with a garnish of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream, if desired!
