Baking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the corns:
- 4 milk corns (you can buy them from a bakery or make them at home)
- 3 bell peppers in 3 colors (red, yellow, green)
- 60 g cheese (preferably cottage cheese or feta)
- 60 g cheese
- 60 g Swiss cheese (or another favorite type of cheese)
- A knob of butter (about 30 g)
- 2 triangles of melted cheese with cream
- 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds (for decoration)

For the spring salad:
- 1 colored bell pepper (any color)
- 1 carrot
- 1 tomato
- 1 small cucumber
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon of sesame or olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Steps

Step 1: Preparing the corns

If you chose to make the corns at home, you can follow a simple bread dough recipe, adding milk and a bit of sugar for a sweet flavor. If you're short on time, bakery corns are an excellent option.

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. This step is essential for achieving an even and crispy bake.

2. Place the corns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush them with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds on top to give them extra texture and flavor.

3. Bake the corns for 15 minutes or until they become golden and crispy. When ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 2: Preparing the filling

1. Cut the corns in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will allow the filling to be well distributed.

2. In a bowl, add the insides of the corns, grated cheese (the cheese, Swiss cheese, and Swiss cheese) and mix well. It is important to obtain a homogeneous mixture.

3. Cut the bell peppers into small cubes and add them to the cheese mixture. They not only provide a delicious taste but also add a vibrant look to the dish.

4. Generously fill the corn halves with this mixture. Don't forget to add the cubes of melted cheese on top for a creamy and savory taste.

5. Put the filled corns back in the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and becomes golden.

Step 3: Preparing the spring salad

1. Wash all the vegetables well. Peel the carrot and scrape its skin, and partially peel the cucumber for a pleasant appearance.

2. Cut the vegetables (bell pepper, carrot, tomato, and cucumber) into thin strips (julienne) to create a crunchy and attractive salad.

3. In a small bowl, prepare a simple dressing from lemon juice, sesame or olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

4. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss to coat them evenly.

Serving

Place the warm corns on a nice platter and accompany them with the spring salad on the side. This combination of flavors and colors will surely be a hit, bringing not just a tasty dish to the table, but also an explosion of freshness.

Useful Tips

- Vegetarian option: If you want to make a vegetarian version, you can replace the cheeses with a mix of sautéed vegetables or mushrooms.
- For a touch of exoticism: Add some olives or capers to the salad for a surprising taste.
- Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of cheese? Of course, try goat cheese or mozzarella for a different texture.
- How can I store the corns? Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.

Nutritional Benefits

This recipe is not only tasty but also healthy. The vegetables in the salad are rich in vitamins and minerals, while the cheeses provide essential calcium and protein. The milk corns bring necessary carbohydrates for energy, and sesame is an excellent source of healthy fats.
