GRILLED CORN WITH BACON BUTTER AND FETA CHEESE
This corn recipe came from How Sweet It Is.
We were making corn and I have been feeling a little weary of plain corn on the cob with butter, aaromat, and pepper.
And even though it is my vacation OF COURSE I wanted to cook and blog :)
The recipe calls for cotija cheese but Fresh Fields Newton Farms market did not stock that cheese so I replaced it with some fresh crumbled feta.
This corn was so tasty and the toppings delicious.
I think the reason it was so yummy was because:
bacon
butter
and cheese.
Can’t go wrong with those three combinations.
And I even got to use REAL BACON (not the microwave kind).
So this was excitement!
The corn was grilled which was done in the oven because the grill was a no.
I just grilled it on some tinfoil with olive oil and some pepper. Very simple, very juicy. The corn even blackened on some pieces which gave it a great taste and left the corn juicy and perfectly cooked.
I would recommend this recipe, and we still have some bacon butter left over so I’m definitely cooking that with some more corn this week.
Maybe I can get some more photos of the finished product then.
Unfortunately the lighting in the kitchen was horrible (the picture below).
And the pictures are blurry, not my best.
I also skipped the cilantro part just because we didn’t buy any.
(we biked to the grocery store and were limited on the amount and type of groceries considering this heat!).
