Ba’Corn Cheese

We saw thing on triple “D” and had to try it. It is OSoo Good!!! Not so healthy, unless you are counting the corn.

[ingredients title=”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 

[/ingredients]

[directions title=”Directions”]

1. Place a 5-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven; preheat the oven to broil.
2. Heat a wok or saute pan over high heat. Add the butter and bacon and cook until the bacon is crisp, about 20 seconds.
3. 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.
4. Add the garlic and half of the scallions.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Garnish with the remaining scallions.

NOTE: Do not over heat the cast iron skillet in the oven. 5-8 minutes in the boiler is all you will need to heat the pan. Ask Rooney or Charlotte what happens when the skillet is to HOT.
