Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 strips bacon, chopped
- 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 2 cups canned sweet corn
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Place a 5-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven; preheat the oven to broil.
- Heat a wok or saute pan over high heat. Add the butter and bacon and cook until the bacon is crisp, about 20 seconds. Toss in the jalapeno and corn, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the corn kernels start to char a little bit, 20 to 30 seconds. Add the garlic and half of the scallions. Add the condensed milk, mayonnaise and 1/4 cup of the mozzarella and cook until the cheese is melted and the ingredients are well mixed, another 20 seconds. With a towel, grab your hot skillet from the broiler and carefully pour in the corn-cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella over the top and set under the broiler until golden brown, 30 to 45 seconds. Garnish with the remaining scallions.

Reviews
Made as written the first time. Second time I wanted to try some of the suggestions by reviewers. So, I added some diced red pepper in with the jalapeno (left seeds in). Surprising, chives are not common year round in ND grocery stores, had to use some green onions. I did add some canned green chilies as well. In addition to the mozzarella I added some provolone and gruyere. Added a little chili and cumin powder. But the fun twist, I hard seared some large shrimp in the butter, removed with tongs, leaving the butter to cook the bacon and finish the recipe. Then rough chopped the shrimp, leaving in larger chunks, and added them back in with the rest of the ‘mix-ins’ before adding to the broiler. Our family loves spice, cheese, corn, shrimp and a LOT of golden, brown, and delicious!
How much macaroni?
11/10, subbed out the scallions for fresh garlic chives from the garden and it’s just *chefs kiss*
So good !!!!
This is so delicious and complex with the heat and sweet and the garlic and scallion. So good it’s almost gone and my guests haven’t even arrived. Will have to make twice as much next time.
This was amazing. I made it last year and and to make it again for Christmas. And I’m cooking it again as a side dish for dinner tonight
Just delicious! Where has corn cheese been all my life? And everything is better with bacon! I used coconut milk because that’s what I had and I would use it again. I also used Dubliner cheese—and I wouldn’t change that either. (I think any cheese would be good.) This is a must try.
i no this recipe tastes good..i can tell its red wine, water, carrots, leaks, tomatoes, lil garlic, salt and pepper and cook slow or pressure cooker..
YES
It is amazing, my daughter in law, who is super picky, glared and wrinkled her nose at first presentation, but one bite and she was very surprised! So was I and this is a requested dish at family dinner!
