Vienna Sausage Loaded Cheesy Corn
Making Cheesy Corn with Vienna Sausages for Extra Deliciousness~
We made a simple snack using plump and chewy Vienna sausages. This sausage corn cheese, with its savory sausage and rich cheese, is great as a snack and pairs wonderfully with a cold beer. While plain cheesy corn is delicious on its own, adding Vienna sausages makes it even better – when it’s hot, you can wrap the sausage in the melted cheese for an incredibly tasty bite! This recipe is sure to be a hit.
Ingredients- 5 Vienna sausages
- 1 can corn kernels (approx. 150g)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (approx. 100g)
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 1/3 onion (small)
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp honey mustard
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- Parmesan cheese, to taste
- Parsley flakes, for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your ingredients. You’ll need 5 Vienna sausages, 1 can of corn kernels, and 1/3 of a small onion. For the cheeses, have 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1 slice of cheddar cheese ready. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and some parsley flakes for garnish will complete the set.
Step 2
For the sauce, measure out 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of honey mustard, and 0.5 tablespoon of sugar. Having these pre-measured will make mixing easier.
Step 3
Drain the corn kernels thoroughly using a sieve. Gently rinse them under running water and then press down with your hands to remove as much moisture as possible. Excess water can dilute the flavor.
Step 4
Make diagonal slits across the Vienna sausages, about 2-3 deep. This helps them open up nicely as they cook and allows the flavors to meld better. Then, briefly blanch the sausages in boiling water. This step helps to remove any impurities and ensures a cleaner taste.
Step 5
Finely dice the onion. If you prefer a milder flavor or want to reduce spiciness, you can soak the diced onion in cold water for a few minutes before draining. Feel free to add other chopped vegetables like bell peppers or paprika if you have them on hand – they add color and texture!
Step 6
In a medium bowl, combine the drained corn kernels and the finely diced onion. Add the prepared sauce ingredients: 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of honey mustard, and 0.5 tablespoon of sugar.
Step 7
Using a spatula or spoon, gently mix everything together until the corn, onion, and sauce are well combined. Ensure that each piece is coated with the dressing for maximum flavor.
Step 8
Transfer the corn mixture into an oven-safe or air fryer-safe dish, spreading it evenly. Generously sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese over the top. Don’t be shy with the cheese – it’s what makes this dish so wonderfully gooey and delicious!
Step 9
Arrange the prepped Vienna sausages on top of the cheese. Placing them with the slit sides facing up will make them look even more appealing as they bake.
Step 10
Place the dish in your air fryer and cook at 200°C (390°F) for about 8 minutes. Please note that cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model. Keep an eye on it, checking for doneness and adjusting the time or temperature as needed. If using a conventional oven, bake at 200°C (390°F) for 10-12 minutes.
Step 11
Once the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, and the sausages are cooked through, your Cheesy Corn with Vienna Sausages is ready! Serve immediately while hot for the ultimate cheesy, savory experience. Enjoy this delightful snack!
