Notes
Recipe tips
Use fresh sweet corn. If you don't have fresh, you can use frozen corn. I prefer to use small or petite frozen corn
Use the same pan for cooking bacon and cooking the corn
Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave until heated through.
Recipe variations
If you want a little spice, add some finely diced jalapenos! Add to pan when you add the corn and sautee along with the corn.
Diced sweet bell red peppers can be added for a slightly different flavor. Add to pan when you and the corn.
Fresh basil or fresh thyme can be used in place of the oregano
Sprinkle with a touch of freshly grated parmesan cheese just before serving
