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.

Ingredients
- 4 Ears Fresh Corn husks removed
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 3 tablespoon 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!
