Corn cheese has blown up as a rich and creamy side dish that’s taken over many Korean restaurants. There’s nothing like indulging in a bite (or plate's worth) of this gooey cheesiness! This corn cheese recipe needs only a handful of ingredients and it instantly becomes the side dish your family can’t get enough of.

Secret to Cheesiest Gooyest Corn Cheese Recipe

Ultimate Cheesy Goodness 

For this recipe, I love using mozzarella cheese. Nothing has quite a cheese pull like mozzarella! If you want maximum cheesy gooeyness, you have to get the right kind of mozzarella: block cheese. Yep, resist the urge to reach for the pre-shredded mozzarella!

Pre-shredded mozzarella is more convenient, I’ll admit. But, it also has a thin coating on the cheese to prevent the shreds from sticking together in the packaging. When it’s cooked, it doesn’t melt together into that Insta-worthy cheesiness you know and love.

Yes, shredding your own cheese takes a little more time and effort, but it’s SO worth it!

I mean... just look this, aren't you drooling?

Essential for Extra Creaminess

For this recipe, we’re using Japanese mayo for a few reasons. Japanese mayo specifically is extra creamy and has a touch of sweetness that immediately adds so much flavor to this corn cheese recipe!  It also acts as a binder for the ingredients. 

I'm not a picking eater, but one thing I hate eating is corn cheese that separates. It's like the ingredients were ONLY cheese and corn, so the cheese just falls of the corn.

While some may like it this way (I'm not yucking your yum!), it's not for me.

That said, we'll use Japanese mayo to hold everything together while creating a luxurious creaminess. It's SO good!

Servings 3 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 15-oz can of corn drained
  • 3 tablespoons Japanese mayo
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons mozzarella shredded and separated
  • 2 green onion thinly sliced for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine corn, Japanese mayo, softened unsalted butter, salt, and ½ cup mozzarella cheese. Mix well then transfer to an oven-safe pan.
  • Sprinkle on the remaining 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese.
  • Broil in the oven until the mozzarella melts and bubbles. Every oven works differently so keep a close eye on it! If your oven doesn’t have a "Broil" option, bake at 500° until golden and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven, top with green onions, then let it cool for about 3 minutes before diving in! Enjoy while it’s still hot and gooey!

Notes

  • Japanese Mayo: I highly recommend Japanese mayo for this recipe because it's creamier than American mayo and adds subtle sweet and tangy flavors. You can get it at local Asian or Japanese markets.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: Grating your own cheese is the way to go, especially if you want gooey corn cheese with insane cheese pull!
