Ways to Eat Your Cob
From completely reasonable to "why would you do that." All valid on Corn on the Cob Day.
Classic Butter & Salt
The OG🌽
Roll a hot cob in a stick of butter until it's thoroughly coated. Salt generously. Eat immediately and without shame. This is the platonic ideal of corn consumption.
Elote (Mexican Street Corn)
Elevated🌽🌽
Grill the cob until charred. Slather in mayo, roll in cotija cheese, dust with chili powder, squeeze lime over the top. This is what corn aspires to be.
Parmesan Truffle Corn
Fancy🌽🌽
Brush with truffle oil, grill or broil, then shower with finely grated parmesan and cracked black pepper. Garnish with chives. Serve to people you want to impress.
Miso-Butter Corn
Umami🌽🌽
Mix white miso paste with softened butter (1:3 ratio). Roast corn at 425°F for 20 minutes, then brush on miso butter and roast another 5 minutes. Life-changing.
Old Bay & Crab Seasoning
Maryland Mode🌽
Boil corn in water seasoned heavily with Old Bay. Finish with more Old Bay and melted butter. Best served at a picnic table covered in newspaper.
S'mores Butter Corn
Dessert?🌽🌽
Slather in brown sugar butter, grill until caramelized. Top with crushed graham crackers and mini marshmallows, hit with a kitchen torch. It's dessert. It's corn. It's both.
Everything Bagel Corn
NYC Energy🌽
Butter the cob and press into a plate of everything bagel seasoning. The poppy seeds, sesame, garlic, and onion flakes hit surprisingly well. Cream cheese optional but recommended.
Hot Honey & Goat Cheese
Sweet Heat🌽🌽
Grill corn until slightly charred. Dollop with soft goat cheese (it melts slightly from the heat), drizzle liberally with hot honey. Finish with fresh thyme. Serve at parties to look competent.
Corn on the Cob But It's Actually a Hot Dog
Wait What🌽🌽🌽
Press a hot dog lengthwise onto a skewer. Wrap tightly with crescent roll dough in a spiral pattern. Deep fry or air fry until golden. Serve on a stick. Is this corn? No. Is it corn on the cob day? Yes. Is this the energy we're bringing? Absolutely.
