Baked Hot Pepper Jack Corn Dip packs a punch of flavor. The sweet corn balances the heat in the pepper jack cheese and makes it the perfect starter for any occasion when festive appetizers are on the menu.

Hot Pepper Jack Corn Dip Is One More Way To Use Fresh Corn

Hot corn dip is one of my favorite dips to make especially during the summer when fresh corn is abundant. Roasting corn in the oven brings out the natural sweetness in the flavor. Hence the reason, I often roast corn on the cob slathered with butter and herbs. It literally makes it finger licking good with the bonus of being able to make a large batch at one time so everyone gets their fill.

Serve Corn Dip Straight from the Oven

The prep for this dip beings on the stovetop and to avoid unnecessary clean-up start with the pan you intend to bake it in. I've used both an oven safe stainless steel skillet as well as my trusted cast iron skillet with amazing results. Copious amounts of pepper jack cheese doesn't hurt the flavor, either. Serve this dip with lots of tortilla chips or fritos for dipping, it's sure to get your party started.
