"If you love fresh sweet corn you will love this recipe. Use it straight off the cob or if preferred you may precook in the microwave by wrapping each ear in wax paper and cooking on high for 2 minutes each. Use the jalepenos if you want a little heat- great with or without. I love using Supremo Mexican melting cheese for this recipe but it may not be available where you live. Makes a meal for 6 or cut into smaller wedges for great party appetizers."
