I made in 8-inch cast iron pan and I think it is the best for this recipe!
I also use this 8-inch cast iron pan to serve my bulgogi and galbi! It looks really good 🙂 I love using cast iron pan, they are easy to use, clean and store than you think!
You won’t believe how easy and delicious corn cheese is! Shall we begin?!
Chop onion and chili. I used red chili but it is optional, you don’t have to use chili if you are making it for your little ones. Red bell pepper can be substitute, I just love the kick with the cheesy sweet corn!
Drain canned corn, you can use fresh corn if you want to! I just went the easy way, lol. I love using yellow corn for this recipe, because the color looks really good!
Aslo add mayonnaise, sugar, salt, black pepper, onion and chili in a mixing bowl. I like Kewpie mayonnaise the best, so that’s only type of mayonnaise I hav in my kitchen. I highly recommend you to try when you are able to get one!
The sugar just enhance the sweet flavor of the corn.
Heat 8” cast iron pan or small oven proof skillet over medium high heat and add butter. Let the butter melt completely and bubble. Smell so good already! hahaha Recipe starts with butter always ending up delicious!!
Add the corn mixture and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Your house must be smells fantastic by now! I’m drooling over here. lol
Spread evenly on the pan and cover the corn with mozzarella cheese. So, mozzarella is what we use in Korea, but any other melting cheese will be delicious, so feel free to use whatever cheese/cheese mixture of your favorite!
Place in the top rack of the oven and high broil for 2 to 3 minutes. If you don’t have a broiler/oven, just cover the pan and let the cheese melt all the way.
Enjoy while it’s hot and cheesy!
