  • 400°F

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Drain the 2 lata maíz de grano entero very thoroughly in a colander — press it gently with a paper towel if needed. Excess moisture is the enemy of a good corn cheese; drier corn means a creamier, less watery result.

Uses

  • Oven
  • Colander
  • Corn Kernels
  • Mozzarella Cheese

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained lata maíz de grano entero, 3 tbsp mayonesa, softened mantequilla sin sal, 1 tsp azúcar granulada, ¼ tsp sal kosher, and ¼ tsp pimienta negra. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.

Uses

  • Mixing Bowl

Transfer the corn mixture into a 6–8 inch cast iron skillet or small oven-safe baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Uses

  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • Baking Dish
  • Corn Kernels

Sprinkle the shredded 1 ½ cups queso mozzarella evenly over the top, covering the corn mixture completely.

Uses

  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Corn Kernels
  • 8–10 min
  • 400°F

Bake at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and the edges are starting to bubble.

Uses

  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • 2–3 min

Switch the oven to broil on high. Broil for 2–3 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is golden brown and blistered in spots. Do not walk away — it can go from golden to burnt quickly.

Uses

  • Oven
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1–2 min

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 1–2 minutes. Garnish with sliced cebolletas if using, and serve immediately while hot and gooey, directly from the skillet.
