Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan-assisted). Thinly slice the yellow onion.
In a non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt, then cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is well caramelized.
Add the Arborio rice to the onions in the pan and stir to coat the rice in the oils for 2 minutes. Ensure the rice becomes slightly translucent at the edges.
Slowly pour in the vegetable stock, stirring constantly, and allow the rice to absorb the liquid on a low simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is al dente.
Stir in the sweetcorn, half of the cheddar cheese, and season with black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Transfer the rice mixture to a small greased baking dish, pressing it down with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the top is golden and crisp.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to slice.
