Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup (optional)
12 ears corn in husks
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated queso blanco (5 1/2 oz) or Parmigiano-Reggiano
Accompaniments:
cayenne; lime wedges; sea salt

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for indirect-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure." Stir together mustard, mayonnaise, and ketchup (if using). Pull back husk of each ear of corn, leaving it attached (like a handle), and tie back with a strip of husk. Discard silk. Arrange corn on grill with cobs over coals (or over medium-high heat for gas) and husks over area with no coals (or over turned-off burner for gas). Grill, in batches if necessary, covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until ears are well-browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Serve corn brushed with mustard mixture and sprinkled with cheese. Cooks' note: Corn can be cooked in a hot 2-burner grill pan over medium heat; about 15 minutes. Recipe by Maricel Presilla
