Essential Ingredients- 1 can (small size) canned corn kernels
- Generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese (or pizza cheese)
- 1 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the key ingredients that will define the flavor of your corn cheese. You’ll need one small can of corn kernels. If you enjoy a bit of spice, finely mince about 1/4 green chili pepper. For a touch of color and sweetness, you can also mince 1/4 red chili pepper. These finely chopped vegetables will add texture and enhance the overall taste, making your corn cheese even more delightful.
Step 2
Drain the canned corn kernels thoroughly using a sieve. It’s crucial to remove as much liquid as possible, as excess moisture can make the corn cheese watery. You can gently press the corn with a paper towel to absorb any remaining water.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the drained corn kernels with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of sugar. These form the base seasoning, enhancing the sweetness of the corn and adding a creamy richness.
Step 4
Add the finely minced green and red chili peppers (if using) to the bowl with the corn, mayonnaise, and sugar. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. Ensure that each corn kernel is coated with the seasoning for an even flavor distribution.
Step 5
Transfer the seasoned corn mixture into a microwave-safe dish or an oven-safe bowl. You can create a slight mound in the center, which helps the cheese melt evenly and looks appealing.
Step 6
Finally, generously top the corn mixture with shredded mozzarella cheese (or pizza cheese). The amount of cheese is up to your preference, but a generous layer will ensure that delightful, stretchy cheese pull you love.
Step 7
Microwave on high for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and lightly golden. (Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s power.) Once the cheese is perfectly melted, your incredibly simple and delicious corn cheese is ready! Enjoy it immediately while it’s hot.
