  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

4 ears of corn, husked

1/4 cup butter, melted

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or bring a large pot of water to a boil to cook the corn.

  • If boiling, place the husked corn in the boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender. If grilling, place the corn directly on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

  • While the corn is cooking, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.

  • Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill or water and brush generously with the garlic butter mixture.

  • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese over the corn, allowing the cheese to melt into the butter.

  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy twist.

  • Herb Blend: Mix in thyme, rosemary, or oregano for added flavor.

  • Vegan Option: Use dairy-free butter and vegan cheese alternatives for a plant-based version.
