A quick and easy Korean corn cheese skillet recipe featuring a perfect balance of crispy edges and gooey melted cheese, ideal as a snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) canned corn kernels, drained
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup (50g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
  • A pinch of red chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler or set to high if using a conventional oven.
  2. Heat butter in your skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add the drained corn to the skillet. Sprinkle sugar, salt, and pepper over the corn and stir well. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and just starting to caramelize.
  4. Remove skillet from heat and stir in the mayonnaise, mixing evenly to coat the corn. Fold in half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses along with the green onions and red chili flakes if using.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly across the skillet’s surface. Sprinkle the remaining cheeses on top to create a thick, cheesy layer.
  6. Place skillet under the broiler on the top rack, about 6 inches from the heat source. Broil for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully so the cheese bubbles and turns golden brown but doesn’t burn.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve warm straight from the skillet.

Notes

Watch the cheese carefully during broiling to avoid burning. Let the dish rest a couple of minutes after broiling to help the cheese settle for easier scooping. For a dairy-free version, use vegan cheese and vegan mayo. Fresh corn can be used instead of canned for a fresher bite. Optional additions include jalapeños, gochujang, fresh herbs, or cooked proteins like bacon or shrimp.
