Ingredients

2 corn cobs
1 tbsp olive oil
Knob of softened butter
2 tbsp soured cream
2 tbsp grated emmental cheese (if you’re vegetarian, check the label to ensure it’s suitable)
2 tbsp crumbled hard goat’s cheese

Method

Heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Cut the corn cobs in half, then brush 1 tbsp olive oil over the four cob halves. Griddle for 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until evenly charred all over.
While the corn is on the griddle, brush with a knob of softened butter and the soured cream. Sprinkle over the emmental cheese and the goat’s cheese, then allow to melt slightly.
Transfer to a board or plate and sprinkle with a pinch of chilli flakes and a small handful of fresh coriander. Squeeze over the juice of 1 lime to serve.
