Everything Bagel Grilled Corn Food

SCALLION CREAM CHEESE CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Reserve 2 or 3 of the scallions for serving.
• Drizzle the corn and remaining scallions with the olive oil, season with a big pinch of salt and 5 to 6 turns of pepper and toss around so everything is coated. Place the scallions directly on the grill grates and cook, turning a few times, until charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Grill the corn, turning every couple of minutes, until nice and charred, 10 to 12 minutes depending on the grill (just keep cooking until they are the level of charred you prefer; be careful, they will pop). Remove from the grill and keep warm.
• Thinly slice the reserved scallions and set aside.
• Combine the cream cheese, sour cream and lemon juice in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
• When the grilled scallions are cool enough to handle, chop them finely and add them to the cream cheese mixture with the everything bagel seasoning. Stir to combine, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. (You will probably need to add salt if your everything seasoning does not have salt.)
• Schmear the cream cheese mixture on the corn and serve topped with the sliced fresh scallions and additional everything seasoning.
• Alternatively, this can be made into a dip: cut the corn off the cob, mix with the cream cheese mixture and fresh scallions, pour into a baking dish, top with any good melting cheese and bake until bubbly. Serve with pretzels or chips.

GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• By peeling back husk, but not detaching, remove silk from corn. In small skillet melt butter and add cayenne and basil. Brush onto exposed kernels. Cover kernels with husk. Place corn on electric, gas or charcoal grill. Grill for 12 - 15 minutes, rotating every 2 - 3 minutes. Serve.

EVERYTHING BAGEL AND BREAD TOPPING

Steps:

• Mix all together.
• Store in air tight container.

GRILLED CHEESE WITH EVERYTHING BAGEL SEASONING

Steps:

• Mix together the cream cheese and scallions until well combined.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread slices and toast until lightly browned on one side; remove to a cutting board, toasted-side up (the toasted sides will become the insides of your sandwich). Spread all four slices with scallion cream cheese, then sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning. Top two of the slices with mozzarella, sliced tomato and red onion. Press the capers into the cream cheese on the other two slices. Form sandwiches.
• Add a bit more butter to the skillet if it seems dry. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, cover with a lid and cook until toasted on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and cook, covered, until toasted on the reverse side and the mozzarella is melted, about another 2 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, cut in half and serve.
• Mix together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion and salt.

PLANKED EVERYTHING BAGEL SPICED SALMON

Steps:

• Soak a large cedar plank (big enough to fit the entire salmon fillet) in water for at least 30 minutes.
• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to heat to 350 degrees F.
• While your grill is coming up to temperature, prepare the salmon. Place the salmon skin-side down on the cedar plank. Brush the flesh side of the salmon with the mustard, then liberally season with the everything spice.
• Place on the indirect heat side of the grill, close the lid, and cook until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees F, 20 to 22 minutes. Cook the salmon longer if you like it more done. Cut into slices and serve.
• Oven method: Bake on a rimmed baking sheet at 350 degrees F until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees F, 20 to 22 minutes.
