Ingredients
  

For the Corn
  • 8 medium ears Sweet Corn Fresh ears will give you the sweetest, crunchiest texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Canola Oil This helps achieve an even grill and moisture.
For the Sauce
  • 1.5 cups Mayonnaise This creamy base enhances the flavor; swap with Greek yogurt for lighter corn pops.
  • 1.5 teaspoons Garlic Powder Adds a subtle garlic flavor, but feel free to use fresh minced garlic for more kick.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper Just a hint of spice; you can use white pepper for a milder option.
For the Toppings
  • 2 cups Feta Cheese This adds creaminess; substitute with cotija cheese for a more authentic taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 350°F. While the grill is heating, brush the sweet corn with canola oil.
  2. Place the corn directly on the grates and grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes until tender and slightly charred.
  3. While the corn is grilling, combine mayonnaise, garlic powder and pepper in a bowl to make the creamy sauce.
  4. Once the corn is grilled, let it cool and cut each ear into thirds for bite-size pieces.
  5. Insert corncob holders into each piece, then spread the mayo mixture over each corn piece.
  6. Sprinkle crumbled feta, seafood seasoning, and minced fresh cilantro over the tops.
  7. Serve warm and include lime wedges for garnish if desired.
