    Corn with Feta and Lime

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Mexican Corn with Feta and Lime is next level corn. It might sound a little unusual but you've just gotta try it! The cooked cobs are slathered with a spicy mayo that gives this recipe some kick. It is then topped with crumbled feta cheese and a final squeeze of lime is the perfect contrast. Corn season is short so don't miss this one!

    While some people are thinking back to school some of us are thinking of what to make with all the fresh produce we associate with August. This is the perfect time to make noodles with all your zucchini, ice cold gazpacho with juicy home grown tomatoes, or a farm-to-table dinner. Don't try and make it perfect, just do it in the spirit of farm-to-table and have fun.

    • Corn with Feta and Lime

    Ingredients

    August is the month for corn. Some people say the pot of water should be boiling before you run out to the field and pick the corn. That will never happen in my kitchen but I will definitely stop at a roadside stand and buy local corn.

    • corn on the cob, the freshest you can find.
    • mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
    • cayenne pepper
    • feta cheese
    • limes

    See recipe card for exact amounts.

    Variations

    Serve it on a buffet - Rather than serving individual cobs put this on a buffet table. It's no more messy than chicken wings and people love it! Simply break the cobs into pieces before cooking and follow the directions in the recipe.

    Grilled Corn - Grill the corn to add some char and smoke making this recipe a version of Mexican street corn.

    Cheese - Feta is actually a substitute for Mexican cojita, a semi-hard, slightly aged cheese used on Mexican street corn. It crumbles like Parmesan but has a stronger, saltier flavour.

    Frozen Feta - Lately I've been seeing videos of someone grating frozen feta cheese on watermelon. If you think that would be fun try it! People love watching you add the finishing touch to a dish they are about to eat. You never know, it might become a viral video.

    Top Tip

    Start a Gluten Free Dinner Club with like minded friends or to find like minded friends. My Dinner Club, fonderly referred to as Gourmet, has been meeting for over 30 years. Kathy was the first one to phone and say, “I emailed you the menu” and this recipe came from that dinner. It was a hit and we all added it to our list of favourites. I serve it up to rave reviews year after year.
