• Let’s get to the fun part—the cooking! Here’s how to prepare this dish step by step:

Step 1: Prepare the Corn

• Start by removing the kernels from the cobs of fresh corn. You can do this with a sharp knife. Cut downwards along the cob until all the kernels have been removed. This will give you about 2 cups of corn. Pat yourself on the back; you’re off to a great start!

Step 2: Mix the Base

• In a medium bowl, combine the corn kernels, mayonnaise, granulated sugar, and garlic powder (if using). Give this a good stir until everything is well combined. This is where the magic starts—don’t skimp on mixing!

Step 3: Add the Cheese

• Next, fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and sliced green onions. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed. At this point, you can also add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.

Step 4: Bake It

• Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown. Keep an eye on it; you want that perfect cheesiness!

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

• Once out of the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes. You can drizzle with lime juice for a zesty touch if desired. Serve it warm, and watch it disappear!
