Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn, grilled or roasted)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

½ cup sour cream

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 jalapeño pepper, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)

3 green onions, sliced (whites and greens separated)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Tortilla chips or crusty bread for serving

Instructions
 

Roast the Corn: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using fresh corn, grill the ears until they’re charred and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Once cooked, let cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob. Alternatively, you can roast frozen corn on a baking sheet in the oven for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.

    Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mix with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.

      Add the Dairy: To the cream cheese mixture, stir in the sour cream, cheddar cheese, and feta cheese until everything is well combined.

        Spice Things Up: Mix in the diced jalapeño, minced garlic, smoked paprika, lime juice, and the whites of the green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Incorporate the Corn: Gently fold the roasted corn kernels into the mixture, making sure they are evenly distributed without smashing them.

            Final Touches: Transfer the dip to a serving dish and sprinkle the top with the green onions and additional feta if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra pop of flavor.

              Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, cover and let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with tortilla chips or crusty bread.
