Instructions
Preparation - BBQ Grill

Preparation - Corn Cob Dishes
- Underneath where the corn will sit on a corn-on-the-cob dish, serving dish, or on a medium size plate...add softened butter.
- Then add crumbled Gorgonzola cheese on top of the butter. Add pepper on top of the cheese. Set aside.
Grill the Corn:
- To the preheated grill, add the ears of corn and close the lid on the barbecue.
- Every few minutes, open the lid and turn the corn so that it doesn’t sit in one place too long and burn.
- Continue turning the ears of corn every few minutes until the corn turns a dark color in various places on each ear of corn (about 15 minutes).
Add Grilled Corn on the Corn Cob Dishes
- As soon as the corn is done, while it’s still hot from the grill, lay each ear of corn on the butter, cheese, and pepper mixture in the corn cob dish.
- Then push down and roll the ears of corn into the butter mixture so that the corn is coated on all sides.
Toppings:
- Top each ear of corn with more crumbled cheese and thinly sliced or chopped basil.
Serve:
- Serve warm.
