Cheesy Elote Corn Bake

Cheesy Corn Bake

I’ve had a few really good versions of elote lately. You know, the Mexican street corn that is smothered in mayo and cotija cheese? When made right, with fresh summer corn, and cooked perfectly, elote can be a magical addictive treat that lingers in your taste buds memory for days. I decided to try and capture some of the elote flavors in this baked corn dish. Serve this as a side at your next cookout and it will be the talk of the party.

It’s really easy to make this. Just get all the corn off the cobs and mix all the ingredients together.  Tomato isn’t a normal ingredient in elote, but I felt like tossing it in.

Bake about a half hour. soo good!

This time of year I could eat corn every night, so this was a fun way to switch it up
