BA'CORN CHEESE CORN



Ba'corn Cheese Corn image

This bacon-studded 'cheese corn' is a popular bar snack in Korea, made of pure bacon-y, creamy, cheesy, corny decadence. The original recipe uses a combination of mayonnaise and sweetened condensed milk, but we're going with heavy cream here for a lighter approach. This may be the first time in my career that I've 'lightened up' a recipe by adding a cup of heavy cream. Garnished with green onions, this would be amazing with a cold beer!

Time 40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) package bacon, chopped
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen sweet corn, thawed
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch green onions, sliced
2 jalapeno peppers, diced, or more to taste
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 cup heavy cream
2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until almost crisp and fat is rendered, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Drain frozen corn thoroughly in a colander. Add 1/2 of the corn to the skillet with the bacon. Cook and stir until kernels just start to turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, green onions, and jalapenos; cook until vegetables start to soften and sweeten up, 3 to 4 minutes. Tilt pan to drain off some of the fat, using a paper towel to soak it up.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pour in cream; stir and bring to a boil. Stir in the remaining corn until heated through. Turn off the heat and add about 2/3 of the mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir to combine. Top corn with remaining cheese and a sprinkle of cayenne.
  • Broil until heated through and top is browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

KOREAN CORN CHEESE



Korean Corn Cheese image

A uniquely Korean-American creation, corn cheese is a dish inspired by two cultures. The simplicity of the ingredients - canned corn, mayonnaise and mild shredded cheese - yields a nearly effortless banchan, or side dish, that smells and tastes like comfort. It's extremely kid-friendly, but is also enjoyed as anju, or food that pairs well with alcohol. (Soju, a popular Korean alcoholic beverage, is a great match.) This versatile, sweet-savory dish is best enjoyed hot and accompanied by an array of dishes, like kimchi, gochujang-glazed eggplant, bulgogi or galbi.

Categories     easy, quick, snack, vegetables, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (15-ounce) can corn kernels, drained
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 to 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (see Tip)
1 scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat your broiler. In a medium bowl, combine corn, bell pepper, mayonnaise, sugar, salt and pepper.
  • In an 8-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over high. Add the corn mixture and sauté just until warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spread the mixture evenly into a single layer, then cover with cheese.
  • Set the skillet on the rack nearest the broiler and cook until the cheese is golden brown in spots, about 3 to 4 minutes. (Keep a close eye on it, as oven temperatures may vary.)
  • Sprinkle with the scallions and enjoy while it's hot and cheesy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than frozen or canned corn.
  • Choose a good cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Monterey Jack cheese will give your cheesy corn snack a delicious flavor.
  • Add some spices. A little bit of garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder can help to add some extra flavor to your cheesy corn snack.
  • Don't overcook the corn. Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. Cook the corn until it is just tender.
  • Serve the cheesy corn snack warm. Cheesy corn snack is best served warm, so it is best to make it just before you are ready to serve it.

Conclusion:

Cheesy corn snack is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a cheesy corn snack that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a tasty and easy snack, give cheesy corn snack a try.
