2 servings
50 minutes
Creamy spicy corn baked in foil is the embodiment of Mexican flavor and comfort. This recipe originates from traditional street treats in Mexico, where corn has always been an integral part of the food culture. Here, the sweetness of the ears combines with the spiciness of sumac and the fiery aroma of chili pepper, creating a harmony of flavors complemented by the creamy softness of butter and the spice of Provençal herbs. Baking in foil preserves all the juiciness and richness of flavor, while the finishing touch—melted hard cheese—adds an appetizing stretch to the dish. Creamy spicy corn is perfect for picnics, friendly gatherings, and family dinners, filling the atmosphere with warmth and joy. It is not just a side dish but a true gastronomic delight that can please even the most discerning gourmets.
