Equipment

  • 1 outdoor grill

Ingredients

  • 2 large ears fresh corn husk and silks removed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Herbal Jalapeño-Lime-Cheddar Slathering Butter:

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter Softened - I use organic (without "natural flavorings")
  • 2 teaspoons jalapeño minced
  • 2 tablespoons sharp white cheddar finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chives minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon lime rind minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

Herbal Jalapeño-Lime-Cheddar Slathering Butter:

  • Add softened butter to a small bowl. Add all remaining ingredients. Use a whisk to lighten and combine and gently whip until creamy and light.

Grill the Corn:

  • Heat your grill to 375 degrees. (Make sure your gates are clean.)
  • Add corn to a small tray. Brush all over with 1 1/2 t. EVOO; sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Add corn to grill and cook until charred in spots about 15 minutes - turning every few minutes.
  • Remove corn to the tray, then cut each ear into 4 even pieces with a sharp knife. Slather each piece with the butter, as it will melt in and serve immediately.
    Yields 8 pieces; 2 per serving. Double recipe if you like more corn!

In cooler months, can use a cast iron grill pan, yet different results.
