- 1 tablespoon butter (about 10g)
- 1 teaspoon sugar

- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- A dash of black pepper
- 100g mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- A sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- A pinch of parsley flakes (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re making delicious corn cheese that brings back memories of old pubs. Here’s a little tip: adding a splash of heavy cream will make your corn cheese even creamier and more flavorful.
Step 2
First, take one can of corn and drain it thoroughly using a sieve. Try to drain it gently to keep the corn kernels intact.
Step 3
We’re adding mini bell peppers for a pop of color. Remove the seeds and dice them very finely. (If you don’t have mini peppers, any leftover bell pepper or other favorite vegetables will work wonderfully.)
Step 4
Feel free to add any leftover vegetables you have in the fridge, finely chopped! (e.g., onion, carrot). Now, let’s add the key seasonings: 1 teaspoon of sugar, a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 5
Combine all the prepared ingredients and mix well until the delicious seasoning is evenly distributed among the corn and vegetables. Use a spoon or spatula to mix thoroughly!
Step 6
Now, it’s time to cook. If you have an oven, that’s great, but a regular stovetop (electric or gas) works perfectly fine. Melt the butter in a skillet or paella pan to add a fragrant base.
Step 7
Pour the seasoned corn and vegetable mixture into the pan with the melted butter. You’ll start smelling that wonderful aroma.
Step 8
Sauté over medium-low heat for just 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until the corn is slightly cooked and the flavors meld together. Be careful not to overcook, as the corn can become dry.
Step 9
Now for the cheesy magic! Reduce the heat to low and generously cover the corn mixture with shredded mozzarella cheese. Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese to your liking for maximum deliciousness.
Step 10
For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle a bit of shredded cheddar cheese, and finish with a dash of parsley flakes for a visually appealing and tasty corn cheese.
Step 11
Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook on very low heat until the mozzarella cheese is completely melted and bubbling gently. The melting cheese will bind all the ingredients together beautifully.
Step 12
Once the cheese is melted and bubbling, your delicious corn cheese is ready! Cheesy dishes are always a win. It’s the perfect companion for beer or a delightful treat for kids.
Step 13
Enjoy that satisfying cheese pull while it’s warm! This incredibly simple yet amazing corn cheese is sure to be a hit. It’s perfect for beer lovers and kids alike. Enjoy your delightful cooking experience!
