Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F with a rack in the center.

  2. If using fresh corn, remove kernels from 4 to 5 medium ears.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, and optional 1/4 teaspoon gochugaru or cayenne; adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the corn mixture, stir, and scatter 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella over top.

  5. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until bubbly, then broil for 2 to 5 minutes until browned.

  6. Optionally garnish with 1 thinly sliced scallion before serving.
