Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (15.25 oz / 432 g) sweet corn, drained
- ¾ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Kewpie mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and lightly grease a small cast iron skillet (5-6 inches) to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained sweet corn, shredded mozzarella cheese, Kewpie mayonnaise, granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Transfer and Garnish: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared skillet, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle extra shredded mozzarella cheese on top for a gooey, golden crust.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the top turns a golden brown color.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the dish to cool briefly before serving to enjoy the melty, cheesy corn warm.
Notes
- You can substitute Kewpie mayonnaise with regular mayonnaise, though Kewpie adds a unique umami flavor.
- Use a cast iron skillet or any oven-safe small dish to bake the corn cheese mixture.
- For added texture, sprinkle some chopped green onions or a dash of chili flakes before baking.
- This dish is best served immediately while hot and cheesy.
