Notes
Never change green corn on the cob for canned corn in this recipe, it won't work!
If you like, replace the white cheese with half-cured cheese or fried pepperoni sausage. It is delicious!
If you do not find the corn husk, distribute the mush mass in small cups made of aluminum foil or in bags that can be microwaved and cook in boiling water normally.
