Notes

  • Tips and Tricks for Success
  • Make Ahead and Freezing Korean Corn Cheese
  • Make Ahead
  • This dish can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Simply mix together and place all the ingredients into a baking dish. Tightly cover and refrigerate until ready to bake and serve.
  • Freezing
  • This dish can be frozen for up to 2 months. Simply mix together and place all the ingredients into a baking dish. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap or foil and freeze. When ready to bake and serve, add an additional 10 to 15 minutes to the baking time, until the cheese has melted and the dish has heated through, then continue to broil for the usual 2 minutes as directed in the recipe.
  • Variations
  •  
  • Although fresh corn is our preference, you can definitely use canned corn or frozen corn. If using canned corn, thoroughly drain kernels from 1 (15 ounce) can and make sure to omit the 1 1/2 teaspoon of sugar as canned corn sits in a naturally sweet brine. If using frozen corn (about 1 1/3 cups), thaw completely and drain any excess water before continuing to make the recipe as instructed.
  • We're often asked if the sugar is important. Yes! A small amount of sugar is added to further bring out the corns natural sweetness and add a nice balance to the creamy mayonnaise and salty cheese.
  • Frozen or canned corn can replace the fresh corn, so you can enjoy this dish all year round.
  • 3 tablespoons thinly sliced chives can be used instead of green onions.
  • Although the flavor will slightly change, you can omit the sugar and still have a delicious corn cheese dish!
  • You can replace the shredded mozzarella with another mild flavored melting cheese like fontina or even gouda.
