Easy Corn Mayo Cheese Bake
Sweet and Savory Canned Corn Delight
My children absolutely love corn, so I make this dish often! Using canned corn makes it incredibly convenient and quick to prepare. It’s a crowd-pleaser with its delightful combination of salty cheese and creamy mayonnaise. It’s perfect as a simple snack for kids or even a light bite with drinks.
Ingredients- 1 can canned corn, drained
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise (adjust to taste)
- 1 slice processed cheese
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, drain the canned corn thoroughly using a sieve. This step ensures the corn is savory and not mushy after cooking. Place the drained corn into a frying pan and heat over medium heat, stirring gently as if sautéing. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the corn kernels are warmed through.
Step 2
Once the corn is warm, drizzle 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise over it in the pan. If measuring precisely is difficult, simply spread it evenly over the corn. It’s a good idea to start with about 4 tablespoons and then add a little more if needed, according to your taste. Mix well to coat the corn evenly with the mayonnaise.
Step 3
After the mayonnaise and corn are well combined, it’s time to add a pinch of black pepper. Be careful not to add too much, as it might overpower the natural sweetness of the corn. Add just enough to enhance the flavor profile. The subtle spiciness of the pepper will complement the corn and mayonnaise beautifully.
Step 4
Finally, place 1 slice of processed cheese on top of the corn. The residual heat from the pan will gently melt the cheese. Once the cheese starts melting, stir gently with a spatula to combine everything. This creates a delicious corn, mayo, and cheese bake! If you prefer a richer flavor, feel free to use shredded mozzarella cheese instead of the processed slice for an even more delightful result. A sprinkle of dried parsley can also add a nice touch of color and aroma.
