Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized ovenproof casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the corn kernels and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until fully combined.
Gradually whisk in the flour, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and free of lumps.
Fold in the sautéed corn, chopped chives, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in a large roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish to create a water bath.
Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife or toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the baking dish from the roasting pan and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chives, if desired.
