Grill the corn

Maple Bourbon Butter with Bacon

  1. In the base of a food processor, combine the butter, maple, bourbon, and salt. Pulse until well combined.

  2. Spread the warm corn with the maple bourbon butter and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.

  3. Extra bourbon butter will keep, stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.


Chipotle Mayo with Parmesan Cheese

  1. In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, chives, and chipotle peppers, and blend until smooth.

  2. Spread the warm corn with the chipotle mayo and sprinkle with the Parmesan and additional chives.

  3. Extra chipotle mayo will keep, stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.


Spicy Corn with Cotija Cheese

  1. Spread the warm corn all over with butter. Sprinkle the corn all over with the salt and chili powder.

  2. Place the cilantro, jalapeño and cotija on a plate and toss to combine. Gently roll each corn cob through the cilantro mixture. Serve with a lime wedge for squeezing.

  2. Spread the warm corn with the blue cheese butter. Sprinkle all over with the chives and remaining crumbled blue cheese.
