Everything Bagel Grilled Corn Food

CREAMY CHILI-LIME CORN

Steps:

• Whisk together the cilantro, yogurt, lime zest and juice, 1 teaspoon water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• Pat the corn dry with paper towels and toss with the chili powder and garlic in a medium bowl. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the foam subsides, add the corn and cook undisturbed until it starts to brown slightly in some spots, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lime-yogurt mixture, 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a serving dish and top with cilantro, the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan and a sprinkle of chili powder.

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.
