Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 ears fresh sweet corn, kernels removed and cobs discarded
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400˚F (204˚C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the mixture evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh sweet corn kernels, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, sugar, and sliced green onions. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking, then pour the corn and cheese mixture evenly into the dish.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture is melted and bubbling around the edges.
- Broil for Browning: Transfer the baking dish to the oven broiler and broil for approximately 2 minutes, watching carefully until the top becomes golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve Immediately: Remove from the oven and serve hot to enjoy the creamy, cheesy corn at its best.
Notes
- Use fresh sweet corn for the best flavor and texture, but frozen corn can be substituted if fresh is unavailable.
- Adjust the sugar amount to taste; it enhances the natural sweetness of the corn.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little chili powder or paprika on top before broiling.
- Serve as a side dish, appetizer, or snack at Korean BBQ gatherings or meals.
- Make sure to watch the broiler closely to avoid burning the cheese topping.
