Warm, comforting, and utterly satisfying, Korean Street Corn Cheese is the recipe to keep on repeat for family dinners, parties, or simply when you’re craving cheesy goodness.
Recipe Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 garlic clove, finely minced
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 green onions, thinly sliced
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the corn: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the corn and cook for 3–4 minutes until hot and slightly golden.
2. Season and mix: Stir in the minced garlic, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, mixing until the corn is fully coated and fragrant.
3. Add cheese: Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the corn mixture, then top with Parmesan.
4. Bake until bubbly: Transfer the skillet (or move corn mixture into a small ovenproof dish) under the broiler on high for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbling.
5. Finish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sliced green onions, and serve hot as a side or appetizer.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use cast iron for best flavor: A small cast-iron skillet helps retain heat and makes the cheese extra bubbly and golden.
- Balance the sweetness: Korean street corn cheese traditionally leans slightly sweet; adjust sugar to taste if using sweeter corn.
- Serve immediately: This dish tastes best hot and gooey right from the oven, so prepare it just before serving.
