Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your corn kernels. If using fresh sweet corn, steam it for about 10 minutes until tender, then carefully cut the kernels off the cob. If using canned corn, drain it thoroughly in a sieve to remove excess liquid.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, place 2 slices of butter (about 20g). Sprinkle sugar over the butter, adjusting the amount to your preference (1-2 tsp is a good starting point).
Step 3
Microwave the bowl for about 1-2 minutes, or until the butter is completely melted. Stir well with a spoon to combine the melted butter and sugar.
Step 4
Add a tiny pinch of salt to the melted butter mixture. Be cautious with the salt, as the corn and other ingredients will add their own flavors.
Step 5
Add 2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is key for that creamy, rich flavor. Stir everything together until the corn kernels are evenly coated.
Step 6
Now, get your mozzarella cheese ready. One pre-portioned bag (60g) is perfect for this recipe. If you have a large block, you’ll want to shred about 60 grams.
Step 7
Spread the corn mixture evenly in your microwave-safe dish. Top generously with the mozzarella cheese, ensuring it covers the corn mixture completely. For extra indulgence, don’t be shy with the cheese! Microwave again for about 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Carefully remove the corn cheese from the microwave. Sprinkle a little freshly ground black pepper over the melted cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 9
Finish with a sprinkle of dried parsley flakes. This adds a lovely touch of color and a hint of fresh aroma, making your corn cheese look as good as it tastes.
Step 10
And there you have it! Your incredibly easy and undeniably delicious corn cheese is ready. Get ready to enjoy the delightful pop of corn and the glorious stretch of cheese!
Step 11
Serve immediately while warm for the best experience. This is absolutely fantastic served with a cold beer or a crisp glass of wine. It also makes for a surprisingly impressive snack or side dish for any gathering!
