Cheesy, gooey, and just the right amount of sweet! This Corn Cheese is the ultimate Korean BBQ side dish you didn’t know you needed. Fresh corn gets a quick fry with butter and spring onions, then it’s mixed with creamy kewpie mayo and topped with loads of melted mozzarella. Pop it in the oven until it’s golden and bubbling, and you’ve got yourself a crowd-pleaser that’ll steal the show from the main event.

Cheesy, gooey, and just the right amount of sweet! This Corn Cheese is the ultimate Korean BBQ side dish you didn’t know you needed. Fresh corn gets a quick fry with butter and spring onions, then it’s mixed with creamy kewpie mayo and topped with loads of melted mozzarella. Pop it in the oven until it’s golden and bubbling, and you’ve got yourself a crowd-pleaser that’ll steal the show from the main event.
Ingredients
- 2 ears corn, husks and silk removed
- 20g butter
- 3 spring onions, finely sliced, green and white separated
- ⅓ cup kewpie mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper
- ¾ cup grated mozzarella cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 205°C fan force (400°F). Slice the corn kernels off with a sharp knife.
- Melt the butter in an oven proof heavy based frying pan over medium heat. Add the corn and white part of onions and cook for 5 minutes, until starting to brown.
- Turn down the heat and stir in the green part of onions, kewpie, sugar, garlic powder and half the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread mixture out so the top is an even layer and sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then switch the oven to grill and cook a further 2-3 minutes until the cheese starts to char a little.
- Take it out (be careful of the hot handle!) and serve alongside a Korean BBQ or some meat and salads.
Recipe notes
The handle will be hot when you pull it out of the oven.
Stick a tea towel or oven mitt over the handle as soon as it comes out of the oven and then use a trivet or tea towel to protect your table when you put the pan down.
What’s good to serve with Corn Cheese?
It’s a classic side for Korean BBQ, so you could serve it with grilled beef, pork belly or chicken.
Can I use frozen or canned corn instead of fresh?
Yes, you can. Fresh corn gives a better texture but if you have some frozen corn in the freezer this is a great recipe to use it up.
