Ingredients

  • Corn Kernels 700g / ~1.5 lb
  • Brings natural sweetness and a juicy pop of flavor to every bite.
  • Mayonnaise 60g / ~0.13 lb
  • Lends a smooth creaminess and a tiny tang that complements the sweet corn.
  • Granulated Sugar 6g / ~0.01 lb
  • Highlights the corn’s sweetness and balances the savory elements.
  • Unsalted Butter 30g / ~0.07 lb
  • Helps everything bind together and adds a subtle richness.
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese 90g / ~0.2 lb
  • Melts into a gooey topping that brings the dish to cheesy perfection.
  • Green Onion 1, finely sliced
  • Adds a mild oniony brightness and a pop of color on top.

Instructions

  • Warm a cast-iron skillet on medium heat, then add your drained corn, butter, mayonnaise, and sugar. Stir gently until the butter melts and everything is well combined.
  • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once the mixture starts to bubble, generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven on a low broiler setting. Broil until the cheese melts into a golden, bubbling crust.
  • Finish with a sprinkle of green onion. Serve hot and prepare for that first gooey bite!

Notes

If you want to dial up the heat, toss in a bit of chili flakes or diced jalapeños for extra zing.
Swap out mozzarella with cheddar or Monterey Jack if you’re craving a sharper taste.
Adjust sugar or mayonnaise levels to make this Korean Corn Cheese recipe as sweet or creamy as you like.
