Description
Grilled corn spread with a Greek yogurt, blue cheese, and basil sauce, finished with lime juice and red pepper flakes for a heat that builds as you eat.
Ingredients
Units
- 4 ears of corn
- 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons of blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup of fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice
- 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Grill the corn until tender and slightly charred.
- In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, blue cheese, and chopped basil to form a thick paste.
- Spread the blue cheese and basil butter over the hot grilled corn.
- Finish with a drizzle of lime juice and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Prepare the blue cheese and basil sauce ahead of time — it keeps in the fridge for up to a week.
- This sauce is versatile beyond corn: try it on grilled fish or drizzled over peaches and nectarines.
- For a spicier kick, increase the crushed red pepper flakes.
