DIRECTIONS

  • Cut off kernels: Cut the corn off the cob) If using frozen, do not thaw.
  • Brown corn: Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and stir for 10 seconds. Add corn and cook for 5 minutes, stirring every now and then, until you get lovely golden-brown bits and the corn is cooked and sweet.
  • Season corn: Add salt and pepper halfway through cooking corn.
  • Toss with dressing: Transfer corn into large bowl. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice and parmesan. Toss well to combine – heat will “melt” dressing. Add fresh cilantro, red onion, green onion, and jalapeno. Toss again.

Serve: Transfer to serving bowl. Crumble over cotija/feta and garnishes of choice. Serve warm or at room temperature.
