This dish isn’t just your average corn on the cob; it’s a mouth-watering blend of creamy, savory goodness that’ll have your taste buds dancing with joy! Imagine biting into tender, juicy corn slathered in rich garlic butter, finished off with a sprinkle of melted cheese that brings it all together.
Ingredients
- 4 ears of fresh corn on the cob
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: Start by shucking the corn and removing any silk. Rinse the ears of corn under cold water and set them aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and minced garlic. Stir well to combine and set aside.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re boiling, fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Cook the Corn: Place the corn directly on the grill, turning every couple of minutes until charred and tender (about 10-12 minutes). If boiling, add the corn to the boiling water and cook for about 7-10 minutes until tender.
- Coat the Corn: Once the corn is cooked, take it off the grill or out of the pot. Brush the garlic butter generously over the corn.
- Add the Cheese: Immediately sprinkle the cheddar and Parmesan on top while the corn is still hot, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately and enjoy!
