Hot Corn Jalapeno Dip
I love sharing recipes! I especially love sharing recipes that are easy and use common ingredients.
This dip is commonly served at wedding receptions, showers or other events. The flavor profile is complex, yet it is so easy to make!
It is best served warm with crusty bread, tortilla chips or corn chips, but you can decide for yourself what you like best!
It disappears quickly and makes the perfect addition to any large gathering!

1 medium vidalia onion diced

2 jalapenos - seeded and chopped
4 cloves garlic chopped

1 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese

8 oz cream cheese softened
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 chopped scallions

Combine onion and garlic in a large mixing bowl with corn, jalapenos, cheeses, half and half and mayo, reserving about 1/3 cup of the shredded cheese.
