Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 ears fresh corn (shucked) Grilled until lightly charred.
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened) At room temperature for easier mixing.
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup chopped scallion Plus extra for garnish.
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Adds freshness.
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning Adjust to taste.
  • 1 can crab meat (6 ounces, drained) Fresh crab meat can be used for better flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grill three ears of shucked fresh corn over high heat, turning occasionally until lightly charred, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cut the kernels from the cobs.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped scallion, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in the grilled corn and drained crab meat into the mixture.
Baking
  1. Spread the mixture into a 1½-quart baking dish and bake at 350°F until heated through, about 45 minutes.
Serving
  1. Serve the dip warm, sprinkled with extra scallions, and alongside pita chips for dipping.

Notes

For the freshest taste, use in-season corn and fresh crab meat. Adjust the Old Bay seasoning to personal preference. The dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving. Don’t skip the lemon juice, as it enhances the flavor.
