How to Make Smoked Three Cheese Corn Pudding
1. Fire up the smoker
Preheat your smoker to 350°F.
2. Combine
In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients together.
I like to use a rubber spatula and fold in everything until it’s well incorporated.
Once the corn pudding is mixed together, pour it into an 8×8″ baking dish or a 10″ cast iron pan.
I like both options here. If you like the crusty edges, a cast iron pan might be the better choice.
3. Cook
Place the corn pudding into your smoker at 350°F for 40 minutes.
The pudding will rise some and firm up, and the center should still be soft but hold together.
You can check the doneness by sticking a toothpick in the center. The toothpick should come out with a little filling stuck to it, but if the whole thing is covered, you may need to cook for a bit longer.
If you want the dish extra cheesy, you can opt to put a little more shredded cheese on top of the corn pudding near the end and smoke for an additional 5 minutes to get it melted. It will form a nice crust.
How to store
Place the corn pudding in an airtight container and refrigerate.
You can store the corn pudding for up to 5 days.
To reheat, microwave or place in a preheated oven at 350°F until it is warmed through.
