Method

  1. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy, approximately 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate and set aside.

  2. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add half of the shallots and cook until translucent and softened, around 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the corn and continue cooking until heated through and translucent, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the cream cheese and 1 teaspoon of salt until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, approximately 45 minutes.

  3. Using a food processor, pulse the herbs, lemon zest, and remaining shallots until finely chopped. Add the butter and 2 teaspoons of salt, pulsing until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
