My new recipe for this week was inspired by the corn that I bought at the Daniel Island Farmers’ Market on Thursday, as well as by a meal that I had on my trip to L.A. this past March.  The dish, from Martha’s 22nd Street Grill in Hermosa Beach, is called the “White Corn Scramble,” and it contains fresh white corn, eggs, havarti cheese, and herbs, all scrambled up and served with a side.  It was AMAZING!  Well, after having tasted the corn and buying more than I would be able to eat off the cob, I figured that I would try my own take on the recipe.  It was wonderful!

Ingredients:
1 t. butter
1 ear of white corn
2 eggs
Splash of milk or water (whatever you put in scrambled eggs)
1 wedge Laughing Cow swiss cheese
Sprinkle of dried parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
1. Cut the kernels off the ear of corn with a sharp knife
2. Over medium heat, melt the butter and put the corn in to saute for a few minutes.  Let the kernels start to brown around the edges.
3. In a bowl, scramble the eggs, milk and salt and pepper, then add to the pan.
4. Break up the cheese and add it to the pan.  Sprinkle in the parsley.
5. Scramble all together, then enjoy!

I served my white corn scramble with a thick slice of whole-wheat toast with butter and a drizzle of honey.
