Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: If using frozen corn, thaw and drain any excess moisture. If using canned corn, drain thoroughly. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed into a creamy dip.
  3. Choose Serving Method: You can either bake the dip to enjoy it warm or chill it for a cold version. For baking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Bake: Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish, spread it evenly, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden top.
  5. Chill: Alternatively, cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and serve cold.
  6. Serve: Serve the corn dip warm or chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.

Notes

  • You can add a pinch of chili powder or diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Substitute cream cheese with a lighter version to reduce fat.
  • Use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella and pepper jack for different flavors.
  • If baking, consider topping with breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days.
