Add 2 cups corn kernels in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until they start to char and pop.
Step 3
Stir the corn, then sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 0.25 tsp salt.
Step 4
Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until the cheese is melted and coats the corn evenly.
