Expert Tips:

Make sure you use low moisture mozzarella cheese. If not, the cheese may goop together and you won't get the stretchy pull!
If you want a golden cheese top, you can also broil the cheese cheese dip (5 or so minutes) after baking. Make sure you keep an eye on the dip so it doesn't burn!
Serve the korean corn cheese with korean pork belly bbq (samgyeopsal), LA galbi (Marinated short ribs), Korean air fryer chicken wings lettuce wraps, and more! This creamy corn cheese dip also goes well with chips too!
