Main Ingredients- 1 can Sweet Corn (drained)
- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 3 Tbsp Ketchup
- 1.5 Tbsp Honey
- 1.5 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1/2 Tbsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- Butter, for greasing the pan
- 100g Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 100g Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Open the can of sweet corn and drain it thoroughly using a sieve. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to ensure all excess water is removed. Proper draining is key to preventing a watery final dish.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, gochujang, crushed red pepper flakes, and sugar. Whisk everything together with a spoon or whisk until the sauce is smooth and well-combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed for your preference.
Step 3
Add the drained sweet corn to the bowl with the sauce mixture. Gently fold the corn into the sauce using a spatula or spoon, ensuring each kernel is coated. Be careful not to mash the corn kernels.
Step 4
Melt a little butter in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly with the melted butter. The butter adds a wonderful richness to the corn cheese.
Step 5
Pour the seasoned corn mixture into the buttered pan. Spread it out evenly with a spatula or spoon to create a flat layer. This helps it cook evenly.
Step 6
Now for the cheesy goodness! Generously sprinkle both the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses all over the corn mixture. Don’t be shy with the cheese; the more, the better for that satisfying cheesy pull!
Step 7
Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly around the edges. Low heat is crucial to prevent burning and ensure the cheese melts beautifully.
Step 8
Remove the lid. Once the cheese is completely melted and gooey, your delicious corn cheese is ready! Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the wonderfully stretchy cheese and the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. Perfect with a cold beer!
