Baked corn with soft cheese
2 servings
65 minutes
Baked corn with soft cheese is a simple yet delightful dish inspired by Italian traditions. Corn baked in aromatic creamy or coconut oil gains a rich flavor enhanced by salt, pepper, and a spicy hint of garlic. After baking, the ears are drizzled with fresh lime juice, adding a light tang and refreshing the taste. The finishing touch is the soft cheese gently melting on the hot corn, creating a creamy texture. Fragrant green onions and cilantro add freshness and brightness. This dish is perfect as a side to meat or vegetable mains but can also serve as an independent snack full of flavor richness.
