♥ [Newlywed Table] Crispy, Savory Corn Cheese Baguette
Ultimate crunchiness and savory richness that fills your mouth with flavor and joy! The irresistible corn cheese baguette with popping corn kernels. It’s the perfect simple recipe for kids’ snacks or a delightful brunch.
Ingredients- 8 slices of baguette
- 4 Tbsp canned corn kernels
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 2 handfuls mozzarella cheese
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1/2 bell pepper (optional, for color and texture)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Brush both sides of the baguette slices generously with butter. The butter will help them become extra crispy and flavorful when baked.
Step 2
Place the buttered baguette slices in the air fryer and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 4 minutes as a first step. This pre-bakes them to a light golden hue.
Step 3
If using the optional bell pepper, prepare it now. Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds, and finely dice it. This adds a lovely color and a pleasant crunch.
Step 4
Cut the slice of cheddar cheese into 4 equal pieces. This makes them easy to place on the baguette slices.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the corn cheese filling. In a bowl, combine the canned corn kernels (drained well), the finely diced bell pepper, 1 Tbsp sugar, and 2 Tbsp mayonnaise.
Step 6
Mix all the ingredients gently with a spatula or spoon until well combined. Be careful not to mash the corn kernels; you want them to remain intact for a pleasant ‘pop’. Your savory and sweet corn cheese filling is ready.
Step 7
Take the baguette slices out from the first bake and flip them over. We’re now ready to add the toppings.
Step 8
Place one piece of the quartered cheddar cheese onto each flipped baguette slice. The melting cheddar will help hold the other toppings in place.
Step 9
Generously spoon the corn cheese mixture (from step 5) over the cheddar cheese. Don’t be shy; piling it high ensures a great burst of flavor with every bite.
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle a generous handful of mozzarella cheese over each baguette. Place them back into the air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for about 3 more minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly and lightly golden. Your delicious corn cheese baguettes are ready to enjoy!
