Description

This vibrant Street Corn with Garlic Feta Butter recipe features perfectly grilled corn slathered with a flavorful garlic feta butter blend. It’s a delicious twist on classic Mexican street corn, combining creamy feta cheese, fresh garlic, herbs, and a touch of heat for a crowd-pleasing side dish that’s perfect for BBQs and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Corn

  • 8 ears of corn, husk and silks removed

Garlic Feta Butter

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup feta cheese crumbles
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon freshly chopped parsley (or other fresh herbs)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Grill the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the ears of corn directly over the heat and rotate every 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even browning on all sides. Continue grilling until the corn is evenly charred and cooked through, about 12 minutes total.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Feta Butter: While the corn is grilling, combine the softened unsalted butter, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, crushed red pepper, and freshly chopped parsley in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until well blended and creamy.
  3. Season and Butter the Corn: Once the grilled corn has cooled enough to handle, season each cob with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to your liking. Generously slather the garlic feta butter over the warm corn, coating each ear evenly. Optionally, garnish with extra chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while the butter is melting over the corn. This dish makes an excellent side for any summer meal or barbecue.

Notes

  • If you prefer, you can roast the corn in a 400°F oven for about 25 minutes, turning once or twice, instead of grilling.
  • Adjust the crushed red pepper amount to your preferred spice level or omit if sensitive to heat.
  • For an herb variation, try cilantro or basil instead of parsley.
  • You can prepare the garlic feta butter ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to use; just allow it to come to room temperature before spreading.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, tacos, or as a flavorful appetizer.
