Preparation
- Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the cream cheese and cook until softened and spreadable, about 3 minutes.
- Add the pickled jalapeños, jalapeño brine, and red and green bell peppers. Sauté for 3 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
- Add the corn, paprika, and salt and sauté until fully combined, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in ½ cup (50 G) of cheddar cheese. Spread the corn in an even layer, then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup (50 G) cheddar cheese on top.
- Turn the broiler on. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden brown.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Let cool for 5 minutes. Top with the Mexican crema and green onions, then serve warm.
- Enjoy!
