Main Ingredients- 1 can sweet corn (drained)
- 1 sausage (e.g., Vienna sausage, or your favorite)
- 1/4 onion
- 1/5 red bell pepper
- 1/5 yellow bell pepper
- 2 handfuls mozzarella cheese (about 100g)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Sauce- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1.5 tablespoons sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1.5 tablespoons sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients. Thoroughly drain the canned corn using a sieve. Finely chop the sausage, onion, and bell peppers, similar to how you would for fried rice. Chopping them small ensures they blend well with the corn.
Step 2
Get your additional ingredients ready to enhance the flavor of the corn cheese. This step is optional, but adding sausage or various vegetables will make it even more delicious!
Step 3
Place the drained canned corn into a bowl. It’s crucial to drain the water completely using a sieve, as any remaining moisture can make the mixture soggy when cooked.
Step 4
Finely dice the prepared vegetables (onion, bell peppers) and sausage. Aim for a size similar to ingredients for fried rice. Uniformly sized pieces provide a better texture and ensure the corn, vegetables, and sauce mix evenly.
Step 5
In the bowl with the corn, add the diced vegetables and sausage. Mix in 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir everything thoroughly until the sauce evenly coats all the ingredients.
Step 6
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heated pan over medium-low heat. Be careful not to burn the butter; allow it to melt gently. The rich flavor of butter will elevate your corn cheese.
Step 7
Once the butter is melted, add the entire corn mixture that you’ve seasoned and mixed in the previous step to the pan! Spread it evenly across the pan for consistent cooking.
Step 8
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the corn and vegetables are lightly golden brown. You’ll notice a sweet aroma as the ingredients cook. Avoid burning!
Step 9
Once the mixture is lightly browned, generously sprinkle the 2 handfuls of mozzarella cheese over the top of the corn mixture. A generous amount of cheese makes it look even more appealing.
Step 10
Immediately cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat until the cheese is completely melted. The melting cheese will beautifully meld with the corn, creating a visually stunning dish. Your delicious corn cheese is ready once the cheese is fully melted!
