BACON SPINACH CORN DIP
TOPPER
10 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped.
4 green onions, sliced
CORN MIXTURE
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 ears sweet corn, cut off, or 1 1/4 cups frozen corn, defrosted.
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tsp sugar
CHEESE INGREDIENTS
1 - 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup mayonnaise ( I used Dukes)
1/3 cup sour cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, microwaved for 4 minutes and drained.
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
Let’s Make It!
Set the bacon & green onions aside.
Preheat oven to 375F
To an oven safe 12-inch skillet, add all the ingredients of the CORN mixture. Over medium to high heat, stirring constantly, sauté the corn till slightly blackened, about 6 minutes. Transfer mixture to a paper plate to hang out.
To the same skillet, add the cream cheese. Over low to medium heat, stir the cream cheese till melted. Add the remaining CHEESE ingredients and combine. Heat for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in corn and spinach. Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.
Pop skillet in the oven on the middle rack. Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbling around the sides and cheese is slightly golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with bacon and green onions.
