1. Preheat the Broiler:
– Set your oven’s broiler to high, as you’ll be using it to melt and brown the cheese in the final step.
2. Prepare the Corn:
– If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. For canned corn, drain and rinse; if using frozen, thaw completely.
– In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the corn and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the kernels are heated through and begin to turn golden.
3. Mix in the Flavor:
– Lower the heat to low and stir in the mayonnaise and Sriracha. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until the corn is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
4. Melt the Cheese:
– Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top of the corn. Allow the cheese to melt slightly on the stovetop. For a golden, bubbly finish, transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
5. Finish and Serve:
– Remove the skillet from the oven. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
– Serve immediately, and enjoy every cheesy, creamy bite.
Tips:
– Versatile Serving: Korean Cheese Corn makes a fantastic side dish, appetizer, or even a creative nacho topping.
– Cheese Choices: Mozzarella is great for meltiness, but feel free to experiment with cheddar or a mix of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
– Corn Variations: Fresh corn adds a nice crunch, but canned or frozen corn is just as delicious, making this dish easy to prepare any time of year.
