Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 3½ cups corn kernels (from about 4 ears of fresh corn, or 16 ounces frozen corn, thawed, drained and patted dry)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch ground black pepper
- 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion (about 1 small to medium onion)
- ½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper (about ½ a pepper)
- ¼ cup finely chopped green onions (about 1 bunch)
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the kernels turn deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook, stirring often, until the onions are wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the green onions, jalapeno, and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Transfer to the bowl with the corn.
- Add the mayonnaise, half of the cheddar cheese, half of the Monterey Jack cheese, and the cayenne and mix well to combine. Pour into an 8-inch square or other 1 to 2-quart size baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
