Cheesy corn dip is a super easy and really tasty appetizer or game day snack. The sweetness of the corn mixes well with the mild mozzarella and then gets a little kick from the jalapeno and sharp cheddar. The mayo ties it all together. I serve this with tortilla chips but veggies and crackers work too.
Start by gathering all your ingredients together and mixing everything in a large bowl except 1/4 cup of the mozzarella and the chives. Mix well to combine everything.
Once you have everything well combined, I spoon it into a casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray. Just evenly distribute the mix in the dish. You can also make this in individual ceramic cocottes or oven-safe cups and serve them as individual starters. Bake the dish for 10-12 minutes until piping hot.
Now it is time to top the casserole dish with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Feel free to use more if the mood strikes you. This is just packed with cheese and more is just great. You could also substitute other melting cheeses on top but I find mozzarella works best. Put the dish under the broiler for about two minutes to get the top nice and golden brown and to completely melt all the cheese.
Remove from under the broiler. You can sprinkle with the chives if you like and serve with a pile of warm tortilla chips. Let your guests dig in or serve them a big section of the dip with their own chips to stop the dreaded “double-dipping”.
