Method

  1. Cook the bacon in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it is almost crispy and the fat is rendered. This should take about 7 to 8 minutes.

  2. Preheat the oven's broiler and position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

  3. Thoroughly drain the frozen corn in a colander. Add half of the corn to the skillet with the bacon. Cook and stir until the kernels start to turn golden brown, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

  4. Add the garlic, green onions, and jalapenos to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables start to soften and sweeten, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Tilt the pan to drain off some of the fat, and use a paper towel to soak it up.

  5. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pour in the cream and stir, bringing it to a boil. Stir in the remaining corn until it is heated through.

  6. Turn off the heat and add about 2/3 of the mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir well to combine. Top the corn mixture with the remaining cheese and sprinkle with cayenne.

  7. Place the skillet under the broiler and cook until the dish is heated through and the top is browned. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes.

  8. Serve immediately.
