Steps
- Drain the cheeses and pat dry with paper towel. Grate cheeses coarsely into a bowl, mix well and set aside.
- Heat a large round cast iron pan over medium-low heat.
- Remove the husks and silks from the corn. Slice off the kernels and set 70g aside. Place the remaining kernels into a blender.
- Add the remaining ingredients, except the butter, and blend until mostly smooth and only some coarsely chopped corn remains. Stir in the whole kernels.
- Swirl a little butter in the hot pan and ladle in a quarter of the batter. Spread out with the back of the ladle until approximately 20cm in diameter.
- Cook until well caramelised and mostly set, about 2-3 minutes then carefully flip over.
- Sprinkle a quarter of the cheese mix over one half of the Cachapa and cook for 2 minutes. Fold the Cachapa in half and transfer to a warm plate. Top with a tablespoon of butter and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 3 more Cachapas.
- To serve, place onto serving plates and add a generous dollop of sour cream on the side.
