Grilled Street Corn with Farmstead Feta

Featuring: Hidden Springs Farmstead Feta

Few things say summer quite like fresh sweet corn straight off the grill. This Grilled Street Corn with Farmstead Feta is a fresh take on the classic Mexican-inspired favorite, replacing traditional cotija cheese with the creamy, tangy flavor of Hidden Springs Farmstead Feta.

The result is a side dish that's smoky, bright, and packed with flavor, making it the perfect addition to backyard barbecues, holiday weekends, or weeknight dinners on the patio.

Why Farmstead Feta Works

Hidden Springs Farmstead Feta is naturally creamy with a clean, bright finish that complements the sweetness of grilled corn. Its crumbly texture melts slightly into the warm corn while still adding a satisfying bite.

Combined with fresh lime, herbs, and a touch of chili powder, every bite is balanced, refreshing, and unmistakably summer.

Ingredients

  • 4 ears fresh sweet corn, husked
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¾ cup Hidden Springs Farmstead Feta, crumbled

  • Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Tips
