Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned sweet corn kernels (drained)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional, adjust to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon green onion (finely chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the drained sweet corn, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Stir the mixture well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Microwave on high for 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the mixture is heated through.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot). Stir gently to mix the melted cheese into the corn.
Transfer the deviled corn to a serving dish, if desired, and garnish with the chopped green onion.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy it as a quick snack!
