Ingredients
- 3 poblano peppers
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 cup grated sharp white Cheddar
- 4 ears corn, shucked and kernels removed, about 4 to 5 cups
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the poblano peppers over the flame of 1 of the burners on the stove to roast. Cook, turning often with tongs until all of the skin is blistered, about 15 minutes. Add the peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam for about 15 more minutes. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, transfer to a cutting board, peel the skin off, remove the seeds and stems, dice, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat, add the onions and the salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes, and then set aside to cool.
Heat the milk in a small saucepan just until it starts to simmer, about 3 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and then slowly add the scalded milk. Whisk in the sour cream and then fold in the cheese, corn, peppers, onions, herbs, cayenne. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Add the mixture to a 9 by 13-inch buttered baking dish and set aside.
Put the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat and add the panko. Toss to coat the bread crumbs and season with salt and pepper. Pour the bread crumbs over the pudding and bake in the preheated oven until the bread crumbs are golden, the pudding is set and bubbling around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.

Love this dish!!! I did use frozen corn, which was just fine. I will try with fresh when in season. I've only made it once, and my veggie hating husband liked it, and my Mom has already asked for the recipe. To cut down on the time to prepare, I'm going to try the canned fire roasted chiles next time. Going in my list of regulars. Thanks Guy!
No, it is not really pudding like at all, but does it have to be? No, but I do get that some expected a pudding consistency since it is called pudding. Maybe they should have called it Poblano Corn Casserole, because that's what it really is.

Loved this dish. Took it to a BBQ and was asked to bring it again. The name pudding may put some off, until they taste it

Sorry Guy,
This one was just not a hit with us. I'll keep looking for another way to get Poblanos and Corn in the same side dish..
