Ingredients

  • 16 oz sweet corn frozen, canned, or fresh, preferably organic
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp sugar (optional: if your corn is very sweet, omit)
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt
  • dash black pepper (freshly ground, optional)
  • 1 Tbsp butter good quality
  • ¾ c mozzarella cheese whole milk, grated

Instructions

Directions for Broiler
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the mayonnaise, sugar (if using), salt and pepper into a large mixing bowl then add the corn kernels.
  2. Mix to incorporate all of the ingredients well.
  3. Melt the butter in an oven-proof skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat, then add the corn mixture.
  4. Cook the corn for 5 or 6 minutes until heated through, stirring so it doesn’t brown. Remove from heat and spread the kernels evenly in the pan. Preheat the broiler at this time.
  5. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly across the corn, leaving the edges empty (so the cheese doesn’t stick to the pan.
  6. When the broiler is ready, place the pan under it and set a timer for 2 minutes. Check it often so it doesn’t burn, and remove when golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Serve as desired.
Directions for Air Fryer
  1. Follow the directions above except you’ll need one or two oven-proof dishes, and an air fryer (obviously.) Preheat air fryer to 375F (190C).
  2. Butter the dishes and place the corn mixture and cheese evenly between them if using more than one dish.
  3. Place in the preheated air fryer for a few minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  4. Remove and serve as desired.

Notes

  • Depending on how hot your broiler is (low, high, maxi, convection) it may take from 2 to 5 minutes for the corn to become golden brown and bubbly.

  • NOTE: if you use super sweet corn, I would suggest omitting the sugar. It can become overly sweet with really sweet corn.
