Basil Butter Corn

Happy Sunday! Today I made these super amazing basil butter corn topped with freshly shaved Parmesan cheese.

Trust me, corns have never tasted this good and in one go, I ate three of them, saving one only for my son.

I know, they are really that delicious. The recipe is inspired by a similar recipe I read on Food Network magazine.

Basil butter is a great compound butter. Basically, you blend the melted butter with a bunch of fresh basil leaves, add a little bit of honey, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and that’s all.

Once you are done, slather a dollop or two of the butter onto the corn and roast the corn in the oven.

Twenty minutes later, shave some Parmesan cheese on top of the corn and bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melted and browned. Absolutely finger-lickin’ good, all done in 30 minutes.

I know that summer is fleeting and soon it will be fall, so soak in the last few weeks of sun rays while you can and make these corns on your outdoor grill if you want.

Either way, you can’t beat this easy peasy recipe that calls for only a few ingredients. Enjoy!
