Ingredient Notes
Corn – I highly recommend using fresh corn for this recipe. Although frozen and canned corn works too, it will taste so much better if you use fresh corn.
Sour Cream – Full fat is recommended.
Cream Cheese – Softened at room temperature.
Jalapenos – Deseeded although you may add some seeds if you like it spicy.
How To Make
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Shuck the corn and cut the kernels off the corn using a sharp knife. Heat 2 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the corn gets slightly charred.
- Stir in the fresh garlic and diced jalapenos and add more butter if needed. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Remove the corn from the heat and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, scallions, and 1/2 cup of colby jack cheese.
- Fold in the corn mixture and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the corn mixture into a baking dish and top it off with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes and broil for 30 seconds or until the cheese on top melts completely. Enjoy warm with tortilla chips.
Top Tips
- If you’re using sweet corn make sure to season generously with salt.
- I didn’t use mozzarella cheese but if you want it extra cheesy and want an insane cheese pull, add mozzarella cheese.
What Can I Serve This With?
I highly recommend serving this with crackers, crostinis, or tortilla chips. You can also serve it with celery sticks and carrots.
