Grilled Parmesan Corn on the Cob
How do you make something like corn on the cob bad for you? Easy, spread a little mayonnaise on it and sprinkle it with parmesan cheese. Leave it to Paula Deen to create something as scrumptious and indulging as this! I happened to catch an episode where she made corn on the cob on the grill this way and I knew, without a doubt, I needed to try it. I immediately told Chris what I saw and he immediately started to drool! Oh yea, the next day I went to the store with the intent on getting corn and corn alone. That night...I made the corn this way....and I hate to say it...but I really want corn on the cob prepared no other way! I have myself convinced that it's better then all the butter I slop all over my corn. I mean I'm only using half a tablespoon or less of mayo on each cob and I probably use a good two tablespoons of butter (at least) by the time it's all said and done...lol...so yea, much healthier this way. :) I'm telling you, this corn is out of this world, cheesy good! You can actually use any seasonings you want on this, but I'll tell you, I've tried it a couple of different ways and using parmesan, salt and pepper, and cayenne is my favorite! It's just adds that little kick that I like so much!!

Gosh, I could do this on the stovetop grill. We just started getting Colorado sweet corn a few days ago. It's a highly anticipated event in our summer plans.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really delicious. Corn and parmesan should work wonderfully well together. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteI've seen Paula do this & have wanted to try it too, but due to my mayo aversion I've not done so yet. I'm gonna have to grow up & get over this mayo thing so I can try this corn!!!
