Street Corn with Garlic Feta Butter
Street Corn is the ultimate summer side dish. This simple recipe is a fun spin on traditional street corn and is smothered in a garlic and feta herbed butter. Add this to all of your summer picnics and it will certainly be a hit!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 8 ears of corn, husk and silks removed
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbles
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 tsp freshly chopped parsley or other fresh herbs
- sea salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium. Place ears of corn directly over heat and rotate a bout every 2 or 3 minutes until corn is evenly browned. Remove when all sides are evenly cooked (about 12 minutes). (If roasting, set oven to 400°F and add corn to oven either on parchment lined pan or directly on rack and roast about 25 minutes, flipping one or two times.)
- In a small bowl, stir together butter, feta, garlic, parsley, red pepper, and a pinch of cracked pepper.
- When corn has cooled enough to be able to touch, season with desired amount of salt and then smother those cobs with the Garlic Feta Butter and add a sprinkle of extra chopped parsley for garnish if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
On the grill is my preference but you can also roast these in the oven. I mean, sometimes storms happen but you still need your street corn, right!? Or seriously, cook it your favorite way--just make sure to add plenty of the feta butter!
You can prep the garlic feta butter up to 2 days in advance. This will also allow the flavor to really soak in--so delicious!
I don't use foil when grilling or roasting corn as I prefer it a bit more browned. You could cover yours in foil if preferred.
You could cut the corn off the cob and toss it with the butter if that worked better for you or whoever you may be serving. I know corn on the cob isn't always the best way to eat for everyone.
