Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen corn. Fresh corn is ideal, but frozen corn is a great option when fresh corn is not available. Just be sure to thaw the corn before using it.
  • Choose a good quality Monterey Jack cheese. A good quality cheese will melt smoothly and evenly, and it will have a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the corn. Corn should be cooked until it is tender, but not mushy. Overcooked corn will lose its flavor and texture.
  • Season the corn to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add other ingredients, such as chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, or diced tomatoes.
  • Serve the corn hot. Corn is best served hot, right out of the oven. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
