Corn Pudding with Basil

This savoury corn pudding with basil is a comforting vegetarian side dish that celebrates the natural sweetness of fresh corn. The combination of succulent kernels and a rich, creamy custard creates a texture that sits perfectly between a soufflé and a dense gratin. Freshly torn basil leaves are stirred through the batter, infusing the dish with an aromatic, peppery fragrance that cuts through the richness of the double cream and eggs.

Ideal for autumn gatherings or as a side for a Sunday roast, this homemade pudding is incredibly simple to prepare using a food processor and a single baking dish. It is a versatile addition to any menu, offering a modern twist on a classic comfort food. Serve it warm from the oven alongside roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad for a satisfying meal.
