Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can corn kernels, drained
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3/4 to 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Combine the corn (1 can), bell pepper (¼ cup), mayonnaise (3 tablespoons), sugar (1 ½ teaspoon), salt (¼ teaspoon), and pepper (⅛ teaspoon) in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Melt the butter (1 tablespoon) over high in an 8-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet. Pour in the corn mixture and sauté just until warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Smooth out the mixture into an even, single layer, then sprinkle cheese (¾ to 1 cup) over top.
  • Turn on the broiler on high. Place the skillet on the top rack, closest to the broiler. Cook until the cheese melts and has golden brown spots, about 3-4 minutes. Watch closely so it doesn't burn.
  • Remove from oven and garnish with green onions. Serve while hot.
