Grilled Corn

Ingredients

6 ears fresh corn

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/4 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

3/4 tsp poultry seasoning

Instructions

Peel back the husks of the corn, but do not remove. Remove all of the corn silk. Using a pastry brush, coat the corn kernels with the softened butter.

Combine the salt, pepper and Creole seasoning and sprinkle it evenly on the corn. Replace the husks to their natural position. Tear six 3-inch by 6-inch pieces of aluminum foil and wrap around the corn.

Prepare the grill. Cook the corn on direct medium heat for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Remove from the grill. Remove the husks and serve immediately, or hold in a 180 degree oven until needed.

Apple French Toast

French toast has been a favorite since childhood—probably one of the first things I could make on my own. Pancakes were my grandmother Muz’s domain, but French toast was all mine. King’s Hawaiian Bread is always a solid choice, but if you can find a bakery that makes fresh brioche or sweet sourdough, grab it. Never been shy about my love for apples, especially Honey Crisp and Fuji. Apple pie’s always been my go-to, but this recipe takes the best part of apple pie and turns it into breakfast.

Pie Dough

This crust has been the base for countless savory pies over the years. The key is keeping the butter ice-cold and giving the dough enough time to rest in the refrigerator. For a little twist, add 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper or 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture.

Denver Omelet Quiche

I love quiche. To me, it’s great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In the morning, it’s perfect with fresh fruit. At lunch or dinner, it pairs well with a light salad. Never use the pre-shredded cheese in plastic bags from the dairy case. It's dusted with cellulose, which messes with the texture and flavor. Always grate cheese from a block. It’s an extra step but it will save money and taste so much better.
