Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Pro tip: Ensure your oven is at the correct temperature for even broiling.

Prepare the corn mixture

In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Pro tip: Adjust sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of your corn.

Grease the skillet

Grease a medium-sized oven-safe skillet or baking dish with butter.

Pro tip: Use a cast iron skillet for better heat retention.

Assemble the dish

Spread the corn mixture evenly in the prepared skillet. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Pro tip: For extra cheesiness, add more mozzarella on top.

Bake in the oven

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Pro tip: Rotate the skillet halfway through for even cooking.

Broil for a crispy finish

Switch the oven to broil on high for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.

Pro tip: Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Serving Suggestions

Korean Corn Cheese is best served hot, straight from the skillet to keep the cheese perfectly melted. Pair it with a crisp green salad or as an accompaniment to a BBQ feast for a delightful meal. To make ahead, prepare the corn mixture and store it in the fridge. Add the cheese just before baking. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave, although the cheese may not be as melty.
