Chef's Tips

For a spicy kick, add a pinch of gochugaru (Korean chili powder) to the corn mixture.

You can use other types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, based on your preference.

For a smoother texture, you can add a small amount of milk or cream to the corn mixture.

To prevent the cheese from burning under the broiler, place the dish on the lowest rack and monitor it closely.
