Ingredients
1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
7 ounces feta cheese, finely crumbled
1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 large ears of corn, shucked and cut into 4 pieces each
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, crumbled feta cheese, chopped mint, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture is uniform.
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the corn pieces and cook for about 3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
Using tongs, transfer the hot corn pieces directly into the bowl with the butter mixture. Toss thoroughly until every piece is well coated with the herbed butter and cheese.
Divide the corn among serving plates and drizzle any remaining butter mixture from the bowl over the top. Serve immediately while warm.
Comments
Corn, butter, and feta are all readily available at Charlotte chains, with fresh mint widely stocked at Harris Teeter and Kroger. The cost per serving runs around $1.25–$1.50 driven by good-quality butter and feta, which is reasonable for a side. The stated 20 minutes is honest—boiling corn takes 10–12 minutes and softening mint-feta butter adds little extra. This is a hands-off dish once water boils, perfect for a weeknight side, though the mint-feta combination makes it better eaten fresh rather than reheated.
