Creamy Corn Pudding

Serves 8
Hands-On Time: 10m
Total Time: 1hr 15m

Ingredients
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1 medium onion, chopped
kosher salt and black pepper
2 cups heavy cream
5 large eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
16 ounces frozen corn, thawed (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Butter an 8-inch square or another shallow 2-quart baking dish.

Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and ¹/₄ teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes.

In a blender, combine the cream, eggs, flour, sugar, 2 cups of the corn, the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¹/₄ teaspoon pepper; blend until smooth. Add the onion and the remaining cup of corn and pulse once, just to combine.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until set but still slightly wobbly in the center, 50 to 60 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives.
