Corn Pudding With Mushrooms And Ham Recipes

CREAMY CORN PUDDING WITH MUSHROOMS: ESCATOON

Steps:

• In a saucepan, melt the duck fat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are golden. Season with salt and pepper. Add the parsley. Keep the mushroom mixture warm.
• In a sauce pot, combine the chicken broth and the cornmeal with a whisk. Season with salt and pepper. Over low heat, cook the mixture just until it thickens and comes together, like a pate a choux. Add the mascarpone and the cheese. Stir until melted. Adjust seasoning. The mixture should be somewhat liquid. If necessary, add some more chicken stock.

SKILLET CORNBREAD PUDDING WITH HAM AND PEPPER JACK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the corn, scallions, ham, garlic, and chili powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the scallions are soft, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl and stir in the half-and-half, cheese, basil, salt, and pepper, to taste.
• Pull the skillet from the heat. Stir the cornbread stuffing and sugar into the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over and stir gently to distribute all the ingredients evenly. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until lightly puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
