The Best Corn Pudding

Bree, Baked Bree

There are very few side dishes that are easier to make or more delicious and satisfying than corn pudding. This corn pudding is the best because it takes minutes to get into the oven, always comes out perfect, and is delicious year round. It’s just as good with Thanksgiving turkey as it is at a summer barbecue. Add fresh herbs, whatever you have in the fridge or the garden. Thyme, chives, and parsley are the perfect place to start.
