Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
*Refrigeration not necessary if you don't have
time.
*Cutting Corn Cobs down the center before Searing makes it easier to sear and also gives more surface for topping per piece.
*Pan Searing means: Slightly browned and some kernels are"Crispy" If corn is cut in half sear both sides for even cooking and better taste.
