Print Recipe

A rich, creamy, and slightly spicy Korean corn cheese dip featuring sweet corn, melted mozzarella, jalapeño heat, and crispy garlic topping. Perfect for casual gatherings and easy to prepare in about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup canned sweet corn, drained
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds removed for milder heat)
  • 3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of sugar
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Thinly slice 3 large garlic cloves. In a small sauté pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the garlic slices and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the drained canned sweet corn and finely chopped jalapeño. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the corn is warmed through and the jalapeño softens slightly. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed corn and jalapeño with 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons sour cream. If desired, add a pinch of sugar and smoked paprika. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed.
  5. Transfer the mixture to your oven-safe skillet or baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to turn golden on top.
  7. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the crispy garlic over the top. The residual heat will keep the garlic crunchy.
  8. Serve hot with tortilla chips, sliced baguette, or crunchy veggie sticks.

Notes

Use good melting cheese like mozzarella for gooey texture; adding cheddar can deepen flavor. Watch garlic carefully to avoid burning. Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end if cheese isn’t melting evenly. For vegan version, substitute dairy and butter with plant-based alternatives. Crispy garlic topping is essential for texture and flavor.
