Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 8 ears fresh corn in husks
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, optional
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Grill the corn. Place the corn on the grill; cover the grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the corn every 5 minutes, until the kernels are tender. Remove from the grill and let it cool for 5 minutes. When slightly cooled, pull the husks away from the corn and remove the silk strings. Set aside.
- Make the compound butter. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, feta cheese, chives, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; mash and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
- Finish and serve. Spread the compound butter over the corn and serve.
Notes
- You'll end up with leftover butter - use it as you wish, but it's great on top of grilled meat, especially steaks.
