Treat your ingredients with care...

• Corn — Choose fresh corn with plump kernels for the best flavor. If fresh corn is not available, you can use frozen corn kernels as a substitute.
• Gromperekichelcher cheese — This Luxembourgian cheese adds a unique flavor to the dish. If you can't find it, you can substitute it with a mild cheddar or Gouda cheese.
• Kachkéis — Kachkéis is a Luxembourgian soft cheese with a strong flavor. If you can't find it, you can substitute it with Camembert or Brie cheese.

Tips & Tricks

• For added flavor, you can sprinkle some paprika or chili powder over the melted cheese.
• If you prefer a gooey and stretchy cheese topping, use a combination of Gromperekichelcher cheese and mozzarella.
• Serve the Luxembourgian-style Corn with Cheese as a side dish alongside grilled meats or as an appetizer at a summer gathering.
• To make it a complete meal, you can add cooked bacon or diced vegetables like bell peppers and onions to the corn before topping it with cheese.
• If you don't have access to a grill, you can also cook the corn on a stovetop grill pan or boil it until tender.
