Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups corn kernels canned, frozen, or fresh
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions optional

Method
 

  1. Drain corn well and pat dry if needed.
  2. In a bowl, mix corn, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Melt butter in a skillet over low heat.
  4. Add the corn mixture and cook gently for 3–4 minutes until warmed through.
  5. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the top.
  6. Cover and cook on low heat until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with green onions if using. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Keep heat low to prevent the cheese from becoming oily.
  • Mozzarella gives the best stretch, but a small amount of mild cheddar can be mixed in.
  • Best enjoyed fresh while the cheese is hot and melty.
  • Leftovers can be reheated gently with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
