Nantucket Corn Pudding

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Cut corn from cob if using fresh corn and scrape right down to the cob saving the liquid that scrapes off with the corn kernels. You should have about 5 cups. Set aside. (Alternately, drain 5 cups of canned corn.)

Step 3

Butter a 9” round or square 9 X 2 ½“ deep casserole dish.

Step 4

In a large bowl beat eggs, half & half, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Step 5

Add corn, ½ cup of the cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.

Step 7

Sprinkle all of the cheese over the top.

Step 8

Mix the remaining cracker crumbs with the remaining butter and sprinkle over the top.

Step 9

Dust with a little paprika.

Step 10

Bake 45-50 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. The edges will be crispy and the center a bit loose.

Step 11

Serve immediately.
