Warm Creamy Corn Dip

We were at a holiday party at a neighbor’s house and came upon this delicious dip.  Served with croustini or a sturdy tortilla chip, corn dip makes a festive appearance.  We experimented with our version at the end of the summer when local sweet corn is abundant. 

• 12 oz cream cheese
• ¾ c sour cream
• ½ c mayonnaise
• 1 t salt
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 lbs corn kernels
• 1 ½ c Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 4 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.   Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, salt and garlic until well combined.  Stir in corn Monterey Jack cheese and scallions.

Place mixture in a baking dish, sprinkle with some extra shredded cheese and bake for half an hour.  Sprinkle with parsley and bacon and serve.
