Ingredients

4 ears Corn on the cob
4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
0.25 teaspoon Salt
0.125 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the corn on the cob (still in the husk) in the microwave in a single layer.

Step 2

Microwave on high for 4 minutes per ear of corn (for 4 ears, microwave in batches or increase time accordingly).

Step 3

Carefully remove the corn from the microwave using oven mitts, as it will be very hot.

Step 4

Allow the corn to cool for 2-3 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel back the husks and remove the silks.

Step 5

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by microwaving it for 20-30 seconds.

Step 6

Stir the honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper into the melted butter until fully combined.

Step 7

Brush or drizzle the honey mustard butter generously over the cooked corn.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy!
