Ingredients
5 ears corn, shucked
Vegetable oil, for brushing
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 red onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 jalapeño pepper, finely diced (scrape out half the seeds and membranes)
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 pound monterey jack cheese, shredded (about 4 cups)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
Chili powder, for sprinkling
Tortilla chips, for serving
Directions
- Heat a grill pan over medium heat (or preheat an outdoor grill). Brush the corn with vegetable oil, sprinkle with a little salt and grill, turning, until slightly charred, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the red onion, garlic, bell peppers and jalapeño. Stir and cook the veggies until they?re soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs. (You can stand the cob in the center of a Bundt pan to keep the kernels from winding up all over the universe!)
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream and two-thirds of the monterey jack. Mix on low speed until combined. Add the scallions, veggie mixture, corn and canned chiles in their liquid. Mix until just combined.
- Spread the mixture in a 3-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the rest of the monterey jack and a little chili powder. (At this point, you can cover the pan with foil and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the dip until bubbling and golden, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm with tortilla chips.
