Allergens
Gluten (wheat), Dairy (milk and butter)
Ingredients
- 4 large corn on the cobs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices of sturdy white bread
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium heat (around 350°F).
- Hold each corn on the cob at both ends, and using a sharp knife, carefully remove the outer husks and silk from the corn. Discard the husks.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, parsley, paprika, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Brush each corn on the cob with half of the spice mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
- Place the seasoned corns directly onto the preheated grill or BBQ. Cook for about 12 15 minutes, turning every 3 4 minutes to ensure even cooking and a beautiful char.
- While the corn is grilling, lightly toast your bread slices over medium heat on a separate griddle or pan. Keep an eye out for golden brown marks.
- Remove the corns from the grill when done, and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut each corn into 1 inch thick rounds, creating bite sized pieces.
- To assemble the bites, spread a light layer of the remaining spice mixture on one side of each toasted bread slice. Top with a generous pile of the grilled corn pieces and finish by sprinkling a touch more of the spice mixture over the top. Cut each sandwich into 4 equal pieces for an appetizer sized bite.
- Serve immediately with a smile and enjoy your masterpiece!
