Air Fried Bacon and Corn Pudding

Air Fried Bacon and Corn Pudding

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
  • 4 strips bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 ears corn, husked and kernels removed (about 1½ - 2 cups corn kernels)
  • ¾ cup small dice yellow onion
  • ½ cup small dice red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup small dice celery
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon Emeril’s Original Essence
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • 3 cups cubed, day-old bread
  • 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
  • 3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Grease the interior of the deep casserole pan with the butter and set aside. 

  • Set a medium sauté pan over medium heat and add the bacon.  Cook until most of the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp and golden brown.  Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon from the pan and set aside. Add the corn to the pan.  Cook the corn, stirring often until the corn is lightly caramelized and softened, about 10 minutes.  Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.  Add the garlic and thyme to the pan and remove from the heat.  Stir to incorporate all of the ingredients and transfer to a large bowl.  Add the milk, cream and eggs to the bowl and whisk well to combine.  Season with the salt, Essence, and Cayenne pepper.  Fold in the bread and Monterey Jack cheese and mix until the bread has absorbed most of the liquid. 

  • Pour the pudding mixture into the buttered bucket pan.  Place the pan in the basket of the Air Fryer, then into the drawer and close it. Set the temperature to 320 degrees Fahrenheit and the timer for 30 minutes.  Once the timer goes off, open the door to the Air Fryer and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over top of the corn pudding. Close the drawer and set the timer for another 30 minutes.  When the timer goes off, remove the corn pudding from the Air Fryer and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
