Allergens

Dairy, Gluten (depends on additional ingredients)

Ingredients

• 6 fresh ears of corn, husks removed and silk removed
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or outdoor griddle to medium high heat.
2. In a large bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off each ear of corn into a large bowl.
4. Add the grilled corn kernels to the cheese mixture and gently toss to coat.
5. Lightly oil the grill grates or outdoor griddle and place the ears of corn on them, standing upright.
6. Grill the corn for 3 4 minutes per side, allowing the cheesy coating to caramelize and become crispy.
7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before removing corn from the cob. Serve warm.

Chef’s Insight

The smokiness from the grill pairs perfectly with the creamy cheesy coating, while the fresh corn kernels add a burst of natural sweetness.

Notes
