Print Recipe

A quick and easy grilled corn recipe featuring a savory herb butter and tangy feta cheese, perfect for summer gatherings and backyard BBQs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, chives, thyme), finely chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Husk the ears of corn and remove all the silk. Rinse under cold water and pat dry (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped herbs, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside. (Tip: Let butter sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before mixing.)
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). If using charcoal, wait until coals are glowing red with a light layer of ash.
  4. Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage even grilling (about 2 minutes).
  5. Place corn directly on grill grates. Turn every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking and charring on all sides. Grill for 10-12 minutes until golden-brown and smoky.
  6. Brush the hot grilled corn generously with the herb butter, letting it melt into the kernels.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the buttered corn while still warm. Add a final pinch of sea salt flakes if desired.
  8. Serve immediately. If needed, keep warm in a low oven for 10-15 minutes.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, replace butter with a plant-based spread and omit or substitute feta with a vegan alternative. You can also use a grill pan or oven broiler if a grill is unavailable. Make herb butter up to 2 days ahead and bring to room temperature before use. Turn corn frequently to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
