Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Husk the corn, removing the silks, and lightly brush each ear with 1 tablespoon of olive oil (reserve the remaining oil for later).
Step 3
Place the corn directly onto the hot grill. Cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until the kernels are tender and lightly charred.
Step 4
While the corn is grilling, prepare the Greek-style topping. In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, remaining olive oil, oregano, parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well, and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 5
Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and arrange it on a serving platter.
Step 6
Generously spoon the feta mixture over each ear of corn, ensuring the topping adheres well to the warm kernels.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over the top for added color and a smoky kick.
Step 8
Serve immediately while the corn is still warm, and enjoy your Greek-style creation!
