Corn Cheese: The Ultimate Beer Snack That’s Irresistibly Delicious
Easy Homemade Corn Cheese Recipe
Here’s the corn cheese I made as a beer snack! It was so incredibly delicious that I forgot to even take a proper picture of the finished dish and ate it all in a daze. Seriously JMT (JMT stands for ‘Jjonmat,’ meaning ‘super delicious’ in Korean). This recipe is perfect for a quick, satisfying treat that pairs wonderfully with your favorite beverage.
Main Ingredients- 3 servings of corn kernels (thawed frozen or fresh canned corn)
- 1/2 onion
- Plenty of mozzarella cheese (adjust to your preference)
- A pinch of black pepper
Seasoning & Sauce- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp black pepper (optional, for added flavor)
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp black pepper (optional, for added flavor)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
I used corn that was pre-boiled, the kernels removed, and then frozen. Thaw 3 servings of these corn kernels. If using canned corn, make sure to drain it thoroughly. Pat the thawed corn kernels dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Dice the 1/2 onion into small pieces, similar in size to the corn kernels (about 0.5 cm or smaller). If you prefer a milder onion flavor, you can soak the diced onion in cold water for a few minutes, then drain and pat dry before use.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the thawed corn kernels, finely diced onion, 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and optionally, 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything together well until evenly coated. The sugar complements the corn’s sweetness, adding a delicious savory note, so don’t skip it!
Step 4
Spread the well-mixed corn and onion mixture evenly into an oven-safe dish or pan. Spreading it thinly ensures even heating and a perfectly cooked result.
Step 5
Generously top the corn mixture with mozzarella cheese. Feel free to add more cheese if you’re a cheese lover! Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 13 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Oven temperatures can vary, so adjust the baking time as needed. Enjoy your corn cheese piping hot right out of the oven for the best flavor!
