5-Minute Homemade Baek Jong-won Corn Cheese Recipe – Your New Favorite Beer Companion!
Introducing a magical corn cheese recipe that you can whip up in just 5 minutes for that perfect post-work beer. Experience the delightful harmony of popping corn kernels and stretchy, melted cheese! It’s so easy, anyone can make it.
Essential Ingredients- 1 can of corn kernels (drained thoroughly!)
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise (key to the creamy flavor)
- 2 Tbsp finely minced onion (approx. 20-30g, for crunch and flavor boost)
- 10-15g butter (for greasing the dish)
- 100g mozzarella cheese (don’t be shy!)
- A pinch of dried parsley (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, open the can of corn kernels and drain all the liquid thoroughly using a sieve. If there’s excess water, your corn cheese might turn out bland. It’s crucial to get rid of all the moisture!
Step 2
In a bowl with the drained corn, add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise for that creamy richness, and 2 tablespoons of finely minced onion for a nice crunch and added flavor. Mix everything well until the corn is evenly coated, just like making a simple salad!
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the baking dish. You can use an oven-safe ceramic bowl or, for extra convenience, a disposable aluminum foil container. Lightly grease the inside of the dish with butter. This prevents the cheese from sticking and makes for a clean serving.
Step 4
Carefully spoon the prepared corn mixture into the buttered dish. Gently press it down to form an even layer. Make sure the corn is packed snugly in the dish.
Step 5
Generously cover the corn layer with mozzarella cheese! Pile it on as much as you like. As it melts, it will envelop the corn, creating that irresistible, gooey texture and appearance.
Step 6
Place the dish in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes. The exact time might vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it. Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown in spots. An air fryer works great too!
Step 7
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley over the top for a beautiful garnish. Your delicious corn cheese is ready! Enjoy it while it’s hot and gooey. It’s the perfect partner for a cold beer!
