Sweet Corn Bruschetta
Hey, remember how I wrote "Sweet Corn Spectacular" - a cookbook all about fresh sweet corn - for the Minnesota Historical Society last year?
Well, guess what? Not only is it sweet corn season once again (*Cough* you should totally buy my book *Cough*), but the book is featured in the August edition of Midwest Living! Check it ouuuuut!
Pretty slick, eh?
Figured I'd celebrate by sharing that same recipe with you all: Sweet Corn Bruschetta!
This recipe is simple, elegant, and easy to tinker with. It's beautiful and delicious with the most simple of balsamic vinegars... but is *mind blowingly amazing* if you can get your hands on peach balsamic vinegar.
Sweet Corn Bruschetta
Ingredients
- 4 Ears Fresh Corn husks removed
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 3 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar of Choice
- ¼ cup Fresh Basil Cut into thin strips
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 Baguette
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
- 8 oz Goat Cheese
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut kernels off the ears of corn. In a large bowl, combine corn kernels, honey, sugar, and balsamic vinegar, tossing to coat. Stir in basil, season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut baguette into ¼-1/2″ thick slices – I like to cut them at a bit of an angle. Brush both sides of each bread slice with olive oil, arrange on a broiling pan.
- Broil bread slices for 3 minutes, flip them all over, and broil for another 2 minutes. Remove from oven, spread each slice with some goat cheese, top with corn mixture. Serve immediately!
