- For extra heat, stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a finely diced jalapeño (seeds removed for less spice). The spicy kick complements the sweetness of the corn beautifully.
- You could also add crispy bacon bits or chopped fresh chives to the mix for an extra layer of savory flavor and textural interest.
- While cheddar is classic, try a blend of Monterey Jack or a touch of smoked gouda for a different cheesy note that adds depth.
