Author Notes
This is sort of a silly recipe, but a fun way to use the corn which we will no doubt be up to our ears in within the next couple of months (pun 100% intended). The proportions can easily be adjusted to your liking. The finished product is ultimately an interplay of sweet corn, tangy tomato, and salty cheese - and tastes almost like a piece of pizza! —Carlynn Woolsey
Ingredients
-
4
ears of corn on the cob, shucked and rinsed clean
-
1 tablespoon
olive oil
-
Pinch
salt and pepper
-
1/2 cup
premade, quality marinara or tomato sauce
-
1/4 cup
shredded Parmesan cheese, or shards of the cheese cut with a vegetable peeler
-
fresh basil or oregano
Directions
-
Preheat the broiler in your oven (Use the low setting if you have the option.).
-
Place the ears of corn on a sheet pan, lightly brushing all-over with the olive oil, and sprinkling with salt & pepper.
-
Cook the corn under the broiler for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning often, until the kernels are lightly browned all over.
-
Remove the corn from the oven, and spoon small amounts of the sauce over each piece of corn. Cover each piece with the Parmesan cheese.
-
Return the corn to the oven and cook just until the cheese is melted.
-
Once the cheese is melted, serve, garnished with the fresh basil or oregano, if desired.
