Ingredients

  • 2 slices white sandwich bread
  • 2 slices square cheese cheddar-style or processed cheese
  • 3 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup canned sweet corn kernels drained well
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients: Drain 1/2 cup canned sweet corn thoroughly and pat dry with paper towel if needed. Lay 2 slices white sandwich bread on a board. Prepare 2 slices square cheese, 3 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise and 1 cup shredded mozzarella.
  • Layer the base cheese: Place 1 slice square cheese on each slice of white sandwich bread, covering most of the surface.
  • Drizzle the Japanese mayonnaise: Spread 1.5 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise over each slice in 5 zig-zag “Z” lines.
  • Add the sweet corn: Divide 1/2 cup drained sweet corn evenly (1/4 cup per slice) over the mayonnaise. Press gently.
  • Top with mozzarella: Cover each slice with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (total 1 cup), ensuring the corn is mostly covered.
  • Air fry: Place both slices into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 175°C for 5 minutes until melted and lightly golden.
  • Garnish and serve: Sprinkle 1/4 tsp dried parsley or 1 tbsp chopped spring onions if using. Cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Flavour boost - Add 1 tbsp finely diced ham or cooked bacon under the 1 cup mozzarella for extra savoury flavour.
  • Spice kick - Add 1/2 tsp chilli flakes or a drizzle of sriracha over the Japanese mayonnaise for gentle heat.
  • Garlic twist - Mix 1/4 tsp garlic powder into the 3 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise for a subtle garlic flavour. 
  • Creamy upgrade - Mix 1 tbsp cream cheese into the 1/2 cup sweet corn before topping for a richer filling.
  • Crispier base - Brush the bottom of each slice with 1 tsp melted butter before assembling for extra golden crunch.
