Ingredients- 4 Morning Buns
- 6 Tbsp Canned Corn Kernels
- 1.5 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Honey Mustard Sauce
- 1 handful Pizza Cheese (approx. 30-40g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the canned corn for the 4 corn cheese morning buns we’ll be making. Measure out about 6 tablespoons of corn kernels. Place them in a sieve and rinse lightly under running water. Then, use your hands to gently press out as much excess water as possible. Draining the corn well is key to preventing soggy buns and ensuring a delicious result.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained corn kernels with 1.5 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of honey mustard sauce. Mix everything together thoroughly. Now, add about a handful of pizza cheese and mix until well combined. This creates your flavorful corn cheese filling. For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a pinch of black pepper.
Step 3
Take your 4 morning buns. Carefully tear off the top portion of each bun. Using a bread knife or a spoon, gently hollow out the inside of the bun to create a ‘cup’ for the filling. Be careful not to hollow them out too deeply, or the filling might spill out. You can save the scooped-out bread to enjoy later!
Step 4
Now, generously stuff the hollowed-out morning buns with the prepared corn cheese filling. Press the filling down gently but firmly to ensure it’s well packed. If you fill 4 buns completely, you’ll use up the mixture. You can also make up to 5 buns if you prefer slightly less filling per bun.
Step 5
Look at these delightful morning buns, packed with delicious corn cheese filling! They are ready to be baked to perfection. Preheat your air fryer and get ready to cook these beauties.
Step 6
Place the filled morning buns into the preheated air fryer basket. Cook at 160℃ (320℉) for about 8 minutes. The exact cooking time might vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so it’s a good idea to check on them periodically.
Step 7
I initially tried cooking them for 9 minutes at 160℃, and they came out a bit too browned for my liking. Based on my experience, 8 minutes at 160℃ seems to be the sweet spot for a perfect golden-brown finish. Keep this in mind as a guideline and adjust as needed!
Step 8
Voila! Your delicious corn cheese morning buns are ready! They might look a little darker in spots, but trust me, they are perfectly cooked and not burnt. Let them cool slightly before enjoying. They are absolutely wonderful served with a glass of milk! You’ll love the contrast between the crispy exterior and the creamy, cheesy, corn-filled interior. The bursting corn kernels add a fun texture. If you fill them generously, they might taste a bit salty, but pairing them with milk balances the flavor perfectly.
Step 9
As you can see, these corn cheese morning buns are an incredibly easy and quick snack to make using your air fryer! They are perfect for a satisfying afternoon snack for kids, especially when served with milk. If you’re looking for a simple yet delicious treat, definitely give this recipe a try!
