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
- Add the mayonnaise, sugar (if using), salt and pepper into a large mixing bowl then add the corn kernels.
- Mix to incorporate all of the ingredients well.
- Melt the butter in an oven-proof skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat, then add the corn mixture.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly across the corn, leaving the edges empty (so the cheese doesn’t stick to the pan.
- 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.
- Serve as desired.

Directions for Air Fryer
- 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).
- Butter the dishes and place the corn mixture and cheese evenly between them if using more than one dish.
- Place in the preheated air fryer for a few minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- 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.
