Description

Cheesy Garlic Butter Corn on the Cob is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish featuring fresh corn slathered in a flavorful garlic butter sauce, then topped with melted Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses and garnished with fresh parsley. Perfect for any barbecue or family meal, this recipe combines the sweetness of corn with savory, cheesy goodness for an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Corn

  • 4 ears of corn, husked

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Cheese Topping

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or boil water: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or alternatively bring a pot of water to a boil for boiling the corn.
  2. Cook corn by boiling: Place the husked ears of corn into the boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the kernels are tender.
  3. Cook corn by grilling: If using the grill, place the corn on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even grilling and slight charring.
  4. Prepare garlic butter: In a bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a fragrant garlic butter sauce.
  5. Brush corn with garlic butter: While the corn is still hot from cooking, generously brush the garlic butter all over each ear to coat evenly.
  6. Add cheese: Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses over the hot corn so that the cheeses melt slightly, adhering to the corn.
  7. Garnish and serve: Finally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and fresh flavor and serve the cheesy garlic butter corn on the cob immediately.

Notes

  • You can choose either boiling or grilling based on your preference or equipment availability.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the garlic butter.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic taste, add one more minced clove.
  • Use fresh Parmesan for best melting and flavor results.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the melted cheese and warm butter sauce at their best.
