Grilled Cream Corn with Gorgonzola Cheese

Wow. I grew up eating a lot of canned cream corn. This isn’t that cream corn. This is something completely special and beyond delicious. From the first bite my wife and I just looked at each other. It was the ‘oh my goodness this is fantastic’ look. Grilled cream corn with a creamy Gorgonzola cheese sauce that is incredible. I can’t say enough just how much we enjoyed this dish.

No Fresh Corn? No Problem.

If you can’t get fresh corn-on-the-cob you can substitute canned corn. You can still make a delicious grilled cream corn with Gorgonzola cheese. Just drain it well first and spread it out on a baking dish and place under the broiler until it starts to char just a bit. Or you can actually skip the roasting and just use the corn right out of the can (after draining).

I like to use my good ole trusty Dutch oven to make this corn and pretty much darned near anything like it on my stovetop. It’s nice and big and sturdy. That extra weight helps it maintain and distribute heat perfectly. As an added bonus, it’s actually pretty easy to clean up too!

I love grilled corn. Try my corn-on-the-cob slathered with Sriracha mayonnaise and my corn with southwestern butter.

These little crunchy bruschetta with gorgonzola and honey bites combine the bite of Gorgonzola and honey. They’re incredibly addicting. A little crunchy, a little tang, and a little sweet. What’s not to love?

Yummy. And Quick.

Yep, the recipe for this Bruschetta with Gorgonzola and honey is easy to make. It’s the contrast between the blue cheese and the honey that is fantastically addicting. The honey really mellows the cheese, making for a great, flavorful bruschetta bites.

I like to make these on the grill. They make for a great side dish to any grilled meal. You don’t always expect grilled bread so it’s a nice change.

Also try my herbed ricotta bruschetta and my grilled blistered tomato and ricotta bruschetta.

Inspired by a recipe from Giada de Laurentiis.
