Ingredients- 150g canned corn kernels
- 3 strips bacon
- 60g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
Seasoning- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Drain the liquid completely from the 150g of canned corn kernels. Any excess liquid can make the mixture watery or cause splattering when cooked.
Step 2
Finely chop the 3 strips of bacon. Heat a pan over medium-low heat and cook the bacon until it’s golden brown and crispy, rendering its fat. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease for a cleaner finish.
Step 3
In the same pan used for the bacon, add the drained corn kernels (150g) and sauté them together. Cooking the corn until it’s lightly golden will enhance its nutty flavor.
Step 4
Turn off the heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the sautéed corn and bacon mixture. The sugar will help bring out the natural sweetness of the corn.
Step 5
Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise and mix everything thoroughly until well combined. The mayonnaise coats the corn kernels, adding a creamy texture and rich flavor. At this stage, the mixture itself is already a delicious side dish!
Step 6
Transfer the corn and bacon mixture into an oven-safe dish or an air fryer-safe container. Arrange it nicely, perhaps forming a slight mound in the center, for an appealing presentation once the cheese is added.
Step 7
Generously sprinkle 60g of shredded mozzarella cheese over the corn mixture. This will melt into a wonderfully gooey and chewy topping.
Step 8
Finally, tear the 1 slice of cheddar cheese into smaller pieces and distribute it evenly over the mozzarella cheese. The sharp, rich flavor of cheddar will add another layer of deliciousness to the corn cheese bake.
Step 9
Place the dish into your air fryer and cook at 220°C (428°F) for 5 minutes. You’re looking for the cheese to be melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown on top. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent burning and adjust cooking time as needed.
Step 10
Once the corn cheese bake is ready, sprinkle some chopped parsley over the top for a touch of color. For an extra aromatic touch, a few fresh rosemary sprigs were added as a garnish. This makes the dish visually appealing and fragrant.
Step 11
Enjoy your warm and cheesy corn bake! We hope you have a delightful meal today.
