CORN CHEESE

Folks stopping over in a little while for iced tea or cocktails on the screen porch?  Here’s a really easy hot dip to go along with the cool melon bites and the briny olives.  Fresh corn is at its best in mid-summer, and 20 minutes prep is all this needs. 

• 2 ears fresh sweet corn, kernels removed
• 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup mayo
• 1 ½ tsp sugar
• Salt and pepper
• 2 scallions, sliced thin

Combine all ingredients except scallions, until well mixed.  Transfer to a buttered baking dish and set in 400’ oven.  Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese bubbles.  Run under the broiler if the top needs more browning.  Scatter sliced scallions over top and serve with bread, chips or crackers.
