Ingredients

  • 3 cups corn kernels about 6 ears fresh corn
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 jalapeno deseeded and diced
  • 1 scallion sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves finely minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup Colby Jack cheese or Pepper Jack cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • 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 cheddar 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 tortillas. 

Notes

  • 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.
