Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add 2 cups corn kernels in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until they start to char and pop.

  3. Step 3

    Stir the corn, then sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 0.25 tsp salt.

  4. Step 4

    Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until the cheese is melted and coats the corn evenly.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot, straight from the skillet.
