Basil Butter Corn

Hi Everyone, I have a perfect, garden-inspired, Summer side for you: Basil Butter Corn.

Let’s talk about the key ingredients for this Basil Butter Corn recipe.

We have basil leaves and flowers fresh from my garden.

Butter and salt: I use Kosher salt because I love the big flakes of salt and I like using salted butter for this recipe.

Pepper: The pepper has to be fresh ground pepper and I used a pepper medley to get more of a depth of flavor.

Basil: I used basil leaves and flowers fresh from my garden.

We also have more corn recipes on LLS: Boiled Butter Corn, Corn Soufflé, and Slow Cooker Pork Corn Stew.

I know you will love this Basil Butter Corn recipe!
