3. Mix cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese into the cooled mixture.
Plating & Assembly

2. Fill the cavity generously with the bell pepper, corn & cheese mixture, ensuring a balanced ratio.
3. Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the filling.
4. Lightly torch or gratinate under a salamander at 200°C for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and develops a slight golden-brown hue.
