Corn Pudding with Poblanos
- 2 ears fresh corn
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 medium poblano, seeds removed, finely chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 eggs, separated
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Remove husks form corn and put in a large pot with milk and cream, Set over low heat and bring to a simmer then shut off heat and cover to let corn steep, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove corn from milk and cut the kernels off the cob with a sharp knife and set aside.
- Strain the milk mixture and set back over high heat, add butter and pour in the cornmeal in a slow steady stream, whisking at the same time.
- Cook and whisk constantly until the cornmeal is blended in and the mixture is smooth and thick; it should look like porridge.
- Take the pot off the stove and fold in the corn, chives, chopped poblano, and salt and pepper.
- Mix in the egg yolks, 1 at a time, to make it more like a batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites (use a hand blender if you have one) until they hold stiff peaks.
- Fold the whites into the corn pudding to lighten it.
- Coat the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
- When it's done, the corn pudding will look puffed and golden brown, like a souffle.
- Spoon into the bottom of bowls and serve chili over the top.
