Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned cream-style corn
  • 4 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 tea. salt
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 12 cup shredded pepper jack cheese, plus more for topping

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Bring the corn, butter and salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 2 minutes.

Scrape the dough into a bowl; let cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well between each addition. Stir in the cheese and chives. Chill the dough 15 minutes.

Scoop tablespoon-size mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2" apart. Sprinkle with more cheese. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown and puffy, 20-25 minutes.
