Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 8.5-ounce box corn muffin mix
• 1 15-ounce can sweet corn kernels, drained
• 1 14.75-ounce can cream-style corn
• 4 ounces diced green chilies
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted butter until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the sour cream and whole milk until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the corn muffin mix to the wet mixture, and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the sweet corn kernels, cream-style corn, diced green chilies, and ground cumin until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Pour the remaining batter on top, spreading it out evenly, and then sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 10

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
