To make it yourself, drain a can of corn and put the kernels into a bowl along with mayonnaise, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add extra vegetables and seasonings if you’d like.

Transfer the mixture to a skillet and apply a thick layer of mozzarella. Simply broil it in the oven until the top gets tremendously crispy, which will take two to three minutes.
