Ingredients

Full corn dip recipe with instructions can be found in the recipe card.

• Corn. I used frozen and thawed corn but drained canned corn or fresh corn will also work. Simply slice the kernels off the cob.
• Cream cheese. 
• Mozzarella cheese. 
• Cheddar cheese. Use a good quality mature or sharp cheddar. Pepper Jack is also a good option.
• Parmesan cheese. 
• Fresh garlic. 
• Chilli flakes. I like adding chilli flakes for a little kick but chilli powder can also be used.
• Jalapeños.
• Fresh chives. Green onions can be substituted.
• Dried oregano.
• Salt and black pepper.
• Optional extras: Black beans, sautéed bell peppers and onion, bacon,

How to make corn dip

1. Make the dip mixture: Start by combining the corn, room temperature cream cheese, grated cheeses, jalapeño, garlic, chilli and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir until mixed. Transfer the dip mixture to a baking dish or skillet then top with a little extra grated mozzarella.
2. Bake: Place the dip in the oven and allow to bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro/coriander and sliced jalapenos.
3. Serve: Serve the hot corn dip with corn chips, tortilla chips or slices of baguette.

Can I make this ahead?

The dip mixture can be made up to two days in advance and kept covered in the fridge before baking. Leftover hot corn dip can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container and reheated in a hot oven until melted before serving.
