Ingredients
- For the Dip
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 minced garlic clove
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
pinch kosher salt
- For Serving
tortilla chips
- For the Topping
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh corn kernels
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced
fresh parsley leaves for garnish
- Alternative Ingredients
Olive oil can replace vegetable oil.
Feta cheese can replace queso fresco.
Fresh corn kernels can replace frozen corn.
Red onion can replace white onion.
Parsley can replace cilantro.
Directions
- Prepare Ingredients – Heat olive oil in the Instant Pot on Sauté mode. Add fresh corn kernels and sauté until they begin to char slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Make the Roux – Add butter to the pot. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cayenne pepper; cook until fragrant. Whisk in flour and cook for another minute to remove the raw taste.
- Combine and Cook – Pour in milk and continue to stir until the mixture starts to thicken. Gradually add both types of cheese and stir until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Final Touches – Adjust seasoning with salt. Switch the Instant Pot to ‘Keep Warm.’ Just before serving, top the dip with charred corn, crumbled feta, chopped red onion, sliced jalapeño, and parsley.
