[Korean Recipes] Corn Cheese

Korean Corn Cheese is a popular appetizer or side dish which can be easily made at home. It tastes similar to creamed corn with melted cheese on top.

You’ll often see this dish offered at Korean BBQ restaurants and it’s also a popular drinking food. I can never stop eating this dish when I’m at a Korean BBQ restaurant. I end up filling on this instead of the meat.

I’m actually thinking of serving Korean Corn Cheese at Thanksgiving this year instead of my traditional slow cooker creamed corn. It’s easier to make than creamed corn too.

You start by cooking the corn in some butter, mayonnaise and a little bit of sugar to add some sweetness. Then you sprinkle the surface with mozzarella cheese and let it melt over the corn.


If you want, you can finish it off in the oven, which gives the cheese some color and texture.
