How to Make Delicious Microwave Corn Cheese in 5 Minutes at Home
Whip up some delightful corn cheese using canned corn from your pantry! This recipe is incredibly simple and comes together in minutes using just your microwave. Get ready for a mouthwatering, cheesy treat with strings of melted mozzarella.
Ingredients- 1 can corn kernels (drained)
- 70g mozzarella cheese
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp butter
- 2-3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/5 medium onion (finely minced)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, drain the canned corn kernels thoroughly using a sieve. Properly draining the liquid is crucial to prevent a watery consistency and ensure a delicious corn cheese.
Step 2
Finely mince the onion. The slight crunch and sweetness from the onion will enhance the overall flavor of the corn cheese.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained corn kernels and the minced onion. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Step 4
Now, add the mayonnaise, which provides creaminess and richness to the corn cheese. Use 2 to 3 tablespoons – I personally prefer 3 tablespoons for a richer flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount according to your preference!
Step 5
Using a spoon or spatula, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. A good blend of onion, corn, sugar, and mayonnaise will create the perfect corn cheese base.
Step 6
Take a microwave-safe dish (a bowl or ramekin works well) and add half a tablespoon of butter.
Step 7
Microwave the butter for about 20 seconds until it’s completely melted. It should become nice and liquid.
Step 8
Tilt the dish and spread the melted butter evenly over the bottom and sides. This step prevents the corn cheese from sticking and makes for a clean presentation.
Step 9
Spoon the prepared corn mixture into the buttered dish, filling it generously. Press it down slightly to pack it in.
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the top of the corn mixture. Don’t be shy with the cheese – more is always better!
Step 11
Microwave for 3 to 3 minutes and 30 seconds, or until the mozzarella cheese is fully melted and bubbly, and the corn is heated through. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s wattage.
Step 12
Your hot and delicious microwave corn cheese is ready! For an extra touch of visual appeal, sprinkle some chopped parsley on top. Enjoy immediately while it’s warm and wonderfully cheesy!
