Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 piece jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 2 pieces green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter (for sautéing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, ensure it is thawed and drained. If using canned corn, drain it thoroughly.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the corn and sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Fold in the sautéed corn, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped jalapeño, and half of the green onions. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased oven-safe baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining green onions.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
