A Korean American banchan (side dish) that is a deliciously gooey cheese and corn dish.

Equipment

  • cast iron pan or stainless steel pan (oven-proof)

Ingredients

  • 16 oz sweet corn frozen, canned, or fresh, preferably organic
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp sugar (optional: if your corn is very sweet, omit)
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt
  • dash black pepper (freshly ground, optional)
  • 1 Tbsp butter good quality
  • ¾ c mozzarella cheese whole milk, grated
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Directions for Broiler

  • Add the mayonnaise, sugar (if using), salt and pepper into a large mixing bowl then add the corn kernels.
  • Mix to incorporate all of the ingredients well.
  • Melt the butter in an oven-proof skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat, then add the corn mixture.
  • Cook the corn for 5 or 6 minutes until heated through, stirring so it doesn’t brown. Remove from heat and spread the kernels evenly in the pan. Preheat the broiler at this time.
  • Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly across the corn, leaving the edges empty (so the cheese doesn’t stick to the pan.
  • When the broiler is ready, place the pan under it and set a timer for 2 minutes. Check it often so it doesn’t burn, and remove when golden brown and bubbly.
  • Serve as desired.

Directions for Air Fryer

  • Follow the directions above except you’ll need one or two oven-proof dishes, and an air fryer (obviously.) Preheat air fryer to 375F (190C).
  • Butter the dishes and place the corn mixture and cheese evenly between them if using more than one dish.
  • Place in the preheated air fryer for a few minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  • Remove and serve as desired.

Notes

  • Depending on how hot your broiler is (low, high, maxi, convection) it may take from 2 to 5 minutes for the corn to become golden brown and bubbly.
  • NOTE: if you use super sweet corn, I would suggest omitting the sugar. It can become overly sweet with really sweet corn.
