Korean Corn Cheese
I love whipping up this Korean corn cheese in just 15 minutes! With gooey mozzarella, sweet corn, and a hint of maple, it’s a quick, satisfying dish for busy home cooks.

Ingredients
- 15 oz corn drained
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¾ cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 scallion thinly sliced
Instructions
- If you have an oven with a broiler, place the rack on the top tier and preheat your oven to 350ºF / 180ºC. Keep the rack in the middle if your oven doesn’t have this feature.
- In a medium bowl, mix together corn, mayonnaise, maple syrup, salt, black pepper and red onion.
- In an 8-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over high heat. Add the corn mixture and sauté until just warmed, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a single layer in the skillet, then top with cheese.
- Broil until the cheese is golden brown in spots, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Keep a close eye on it, as oven temperatures may vary. If using an oven without broiling features, bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle with scallions and serve immediately.

- Use a well-drained can of corn kernels to avoid a watery dish. Sauté the corn mixture just until it's warmed to prevent overcooking the corn.
- Finely chop the red onion for even cooking and better integration into the corn mixture.
- Use an ovenproof skillet for easy transition from stovetop to broiler.
- If your oven doesn't have a broiler, bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, adjusting the time as needed.
