Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Corn
  1. If using fresh corn, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Grill the corn for about 10 minutes, rotating until charred and fragrant. Once grilled, let it cool slightly before cutting the kernels off the cob.
  2. For frozen corn, bring a pot of water to boil, blanch the corn for 2 minutes, then transfer it to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled or blanched corn with crumbled feta cheese. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and add finely chopped parsley. Fold gently, ensuring even coating.
  4. If using it, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat while the corn mixture rests. Drizzle it over the cheesy corn and mix well to combine.
  5. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley or lime wedges.
