Ingredients (~8 servings)
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 5 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 3 3/4 cups corn (cut off the cob or defrosted if frozen)
- 3/4 tsp chili powder
- 3/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup grated cotija cheese
- 3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Preheat Oven and Prep Your Pan
Get the oven to 350F and lightly grease a small cast iron skillet or casserole dish.
If you’re using cast iron, you can use that same pan for the next step too.
Cook the Aromatics
Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat.
Add the jalapeño, garlic, and red onion; cook for ~3 minutes until the onion softens and becomes fragrant.
Let this cool while you work on the base.
Make the Creamy Base
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth.
The cream cheese clumps at first but will smooth out after ~30 seconds of mixing.
Combine Everything and Bake
Stir in the corn, chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, cotija cheese, cilantro, and the cooled jalapeño mixture.
Transfer to your prepared pan and bake for 18-20 minutes until bubbly around the edges.
The top will start to lightly brown and you’ll see it bubbling at the sides when it’s ready.
