Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter eight 3/4-cup custard cups or ramekins.

02

Step

In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add shallots and poblano pepper; sauté until shallots are translucent and pepper is tender, about 3 minutes.

03

Step

In a blender or food processor, puree corn until smooth. Add half-and-half, eggs, flour, salt, sugar, nutmeg, and white pepper. Pulse until the mixture is completely smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.

04

Step

Gently fold in the cooked crabmeat and the sautéed shallot-poblano mixture into the corn mixture.

05

Step

Divide the custard evenly among the prepared custard cups or ramekins. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each.

06

Step

Place the filled cups in a large roasting pan. Carefully pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the cups, creating a water bath (bain-marie).

07

Step

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 50 minutes, or until the custards are set in the center and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the tops begin to brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

08

Step

Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Carefully remove the custard cups from the water bath. Let cool slightly before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the butter before sautéing the shallots and poblano.
Fresh corn can be substituted for frozen. You'll need about 3 ears of corn.
Be careful not to overbake the puddings, as they will become dry and rubbery. The center should still have a slight jiggle.
Leftover Corn and Crab Pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or microwave.
