Ingredients ()

• 1 bunch scallions (10 to 12), cleaned and trimmed
• 4 ears of corn, husks removed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup cream cheese (one-quarter of an 8-ounce block), at room temperature
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (some have salt and some do not, so adjust the salt accordingly), plus more for serving

Directions

1. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Set aside 2 or 3 of the scallions for garnish.
2. Drizzle the corn and remaining scallions with olive oil, season with a generous pinch of salt and 5 to 6 turns of pepper, and toss to coat. Place the scallions directly on the grill grates and cook, turning occasionally, until charred, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. Grill the corn, turning every few minutes, until nicely charred, about 10 to 12 minutes depending on your grill (continue cooking until you reach your preferred level of char; watch out for popping). Remove from the grill and keep warm.
4. Thinly slice the reserved scallions and set aside.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.
6. Once the grilled scallions are cool enough to handle, finely chop them and add to the cream cheese mixture along with the everything bagel seasoning. Stir until well blended, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed. (You may need to add extra salt if your everything seasoning is unsalted.)
7. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the grilled corn and serve topped with the sliced fresh scallions and a sprinkle of additional everything seasoning.
8. Alternatively, turn this into a dip: cut the kernels off the cob, mix with the cream cheese mixture and fresh scallions, transfer to a baking dish, top with a melting cheese, and bake until bubbly. Serve with pretzels or chips.
