A creamy, slightly smoky corn dip with jalapeño heat, baked in a cast iron skillet for a warm, comforting appetizer that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium jalapeño, finely diced (remove seeds for milder heat)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Small handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the jalapeño by removing seeds if you want less heat, then finely dice. Wash hands afterward or use gloves.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir well until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Fold in corn kernels and diced jalapeño, spreading jalapeño evenly.
  6. Stir in shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses until thick but well combined.
  7. Transfer mixture into a lightly greased cast iron skillet and spread evenly.
  8. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the dip bubbles around edges and top is lightly golden.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice over the top.
  10. Serve immediately with sturdy chips or sliced baguette.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing for smooth texture. Adjust jalapeño heat by removing seeds or adding more peppers. Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting. Watch baking time to avoid drying out. Optionally broil 1-2 minutes for extra crisp top. Serve hot and bubbly. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated; reheat gently and add fresh lime juice and herbs after warming.
