Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for a savory touch)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (about 8×8 inches) with butter or non-stick spray.
-
Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it. You can use a food processor to pulse the corn a few times for a smoother texture if preferred.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract (if using), salt, and pepper.
-
Combine Corn and Flour (if using): Stir in the corn and flour (if using) to the wet mixture. The flour helps thicken the pudding, but you can skip it for a more custardy texture. If you’re using cheese, stir it in at this point as well.
-
Bake the Pudding: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set in the middle and golden brown on top.
-
Cool and Serve: Let the corn pudding cool for about 10 minutes before serving. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Enjoy your creamy, sweet, and comforting corn pudding!
This dish works well as a side with roasted meats or as part of a holiday meal.

Here’s a fun and tasty recipe for Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls—crispy, cheesy, and filled with flavorful steak and vegetables. They make for a perfect appetizer or a fun twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ribeye steak (or sirloin), thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded (or a mix of provolone and American cheese)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 10-12 egg roll wrappers
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works well)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Filling:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions (and bell pepper, if using) and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Add the thinly sliced steak to the pan and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Once cooled, mix in the cream cheese until fully combined. Stir in the shredded provolone (and American cheese, if using) until melted and evenly incorporated.
2. Assemble the Eggrolls:
- Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the Philly cheesesteak filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold in the two side corners of the egg roll wrapper, then roll it tightly from the bottom corner up to the top, sealing the edge with a little beaten egg.
- Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
3. Fry the Eggrolls:
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat (around 350°F or 175°C).
- Fry the eggrolls in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the eggrolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. Serve:
- Serve the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls hot, with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, marinara, or a cheese sauce.
Enjoy:
These crispy Philly cheesesteak eggrolls are packed with delicious flavors and a perfect combination of savory steak, gooey cheese, and crunchy wrappers! Great as a snack, appetizer, or party food.
