Street Corn Extravaganza

Allergens

Dairy (Blue Cheese)

Ingredients

• 4 fresh ears of corn, shucked
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/3 cup Buffalo sauce (Frank's RedHot recommended)
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and Buffalo sauce set aside.
3. In another small bowl, mix together the crumbled blue cheese, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper set aside.
4. Place the corn on the preheated grill or grill pan, and cook for 10 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly charred.
5. Brush the cooked corn with the Buffalo sauce butter mixture, then sprinkle generously with the blue cheese spice blend. Return to the grill for an additional 3 4 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
6. Remove from heat, top with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately with lime wedges.

Chef’s Insight

The key to perfect street corn is achieving a balance of flavors - sweet, savory, spicy, and tangy, while maintaining a tender yet slightly crisp texture.

Notes

For added convenience, pre-made blue cheese dressing can be used in place of crumbled blue cheese.
