Ingredients

Scale

4 to 6 ears of corn or 4 to 6 cups of frozen or canned corn (*See Notes below)

1 tablespoon butter

1 large bunch of scallions (3/4 cup of whites chopped and greens chopped as garnish)

1 medium jalapeno diced small (2 tablespoons)

1 cup of mayonnaise (or Kewpie mayonnaise for a richer flavor)

8 ounces Fontina cheese, shredded (can be substituted with mozzarella)

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon white pepper

  3. Husk the corn and remove kernels from the cobs.
  4. In a large saute pan over medium high heat, melt butter, and add corn, scallion whites and chopped jalapeno and saute for five minutes.
  5. While corn is cooking, in a large bowl, add mayonnaise, shredded cheese, sugar, salt and pepper.

Notes

*The amount of corn you’ll buy depends on how you plan to serve this dish. For a dip, four ears of corn should be used. For a side dish, add two more ears for a total of six. Nutritional information is calculated based on 4 ears/cups of corn.
