Description

A creamy and cheesy baked corn dip perfect for serving with tortilla chips or veggies.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients by washing and shucking the corn cobs if using fresh corn.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté the corn kernels until tender and golden brown (5-7 minutes).
  3. In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and salt until smooth.
  4. Fold in sautéed corn, shredded cheeses, green onions, cilantro (if using), and any additional spices.
