Chef tips
If the carrot releases a lot of moisture, press it with paper towel before mixing. For a more even texture, chop the corn kernels into smaller pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Substitutions
You can swap the mozzarella for mild cheddar or a semi-hard shredded cheese. Milk can be replaced with unsweetened plant-based milk if you need to avoid dairy, but in that case you should also use dairy-free cheese and plant-based butter.
