Prep Time 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes minutes
- 2 cups corn kernels, canned, fresh, or frozen, thawed and well-drained
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced, with a few tablespoons of dark green slices set aside for garnish
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 to 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
- Dash ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
Position the oven rack in the top third of the oven and heat the broiler.
In a medium bowl combine the corn, bell pepper, and sliced green onions. Make sure you set aside some of the sliced dark green pieces for garnish.
Add the mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a dash of pepper; mix well.
Melt the butter in a small (8-inch) oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the corn mixture to the skillet and sauté, stirring constantly, until hot, about 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings, as desired.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the corn mixture and place the pan under the broiler.
Broil until the cheese is melted and brown in spots, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer.
