Ingredients
- 4 ears of fresh corn on the cob
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon chili lime seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation of the Hollandaise Sauce
Start by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Slowly pour the hot melted butter into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to create a creamy Hollandaise sauce. Keep warm while preparing the corn.
Grilling the Corn
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the corn with a little oil and place it on the grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Adding the Chili Lime Flavor
In a small bowl, mix chili powder, lime zest, lime juice, and chili lime seasoning. Drizzle this mixture over the hot grilled corn. Spoon the warm Hollandaise sauce generously over the corn, allowing it to melt slightly into the kernels.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or grilled meats. For an extra kick, sprinkle additional chili lime seasoning or chopped cilantro on top. It’s a perfect blend of smoky, tangy, and spicy flavors that will delight your taste buds.
