So, I’ve been experimenting to make an easier version of making Korean corn cheese at home, deciding to make them as single portions (instead of large portions a lot of recipes call for). The dish is sinful and calorific, so thinking single portion recipes would be more forgiving if I make them at home.
Thought I’d share the recipe here!
Tried out 3 methods (base ingredients are the same, steps below):
>In a mixing bowl, add sweetcorn, mayonnaise, sugar and 1/4 of the mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper before stirring altogether. > >Next, melt butter on a skillet or pan under medium heat. Make sure to spread the butter all over the pan’s surface. > >Then, pour the mixture into the pan, making sure to spread it evenly. Top it off with the remaining shredded mozzarella. > >Increase the heat to medium-high heat and cook on the stove-top for 5-7 minutes until it is cooked through and the mozzarella has melted. > >If you prefer a golden crust cheese top, then transfer it into a broiler and leave it to broil for 10 minutes to make it bubbly and golden on top.
Steps for air fryer
>Grease an air fryer-safe dish with unsalted butter. Then, in a mix ingredients as above (same at stove top) > >Pour the mixture into the greased air fryer-safe dish and top it off with the remaining shredded mozzarella. > >Preheat the air fryer to 400˚F or 200˚C for at least 2 minutes. > >Air fry for 10 minutes until it is cooked through and the mozzarella has melted. (After 5 minutes take off the lid of the ramekin to allow top of the cheese to broil)
Steps for microwave
>First 2 steps the same as air fryer method. > >Pour the mixture into the greased microwave-safe dish and top it off with the remaining shredded mozzarella. > >Microwave for 1.5 minutes at 600 W to cook through the ingredients. Then, microwave for another 30 seconds at 900 W until all the mozzarella has melted.
Personally, the stove top + oven is still the best cause you get it crusty golden on top, but it takes a bit of time to do. The air fryer is great middle ground, cause it’s less messy but you still get a little bit of a nice cheese crust.
I’ve tried adding other ingredients in like spring onions, crab meat, chopped bell peppers… though I feel a lot of them just add volume without necessarily enhancing the flavour. Thought the plain version with just corn and cheese is still the best.
What do you eat with corn cheese, do you dip bread in it? It looks delicious, I’ve just never had it before 😂

Just throw it in the oven while you prep something else. No reason to spend any time on the stove.
blerppp
I use a smaller cast iron skillet usually. Drain and sauté the corn in some butter and bit of salt first, then will add in mozz/sugar/mayo until it’s warmed through. More cheese on top then put it under the broiler.
