  • 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 grill to medium-high or bring a pot of water to boil.

  • Cook corn:

    • Boiling: Cook corn for 8–10 minutes until tender.

    • Grilling: Grill corn for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally.

  • Prepare garlic butter by mixing melted butter, garlic, salt, and pepper.

  • Brush hot corn with garlic butter generously.

  • Sprinkle Parmesan and mozzarella while corn is still hot so the cheese melts.

  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add spice: Sprinkle chili powder or red pepper flakes for a spicy version.

  • Cheese options: Try cheddar or pepper jack for a different twist.

  • Smoky flavor: Grill briefly after adding cheese to crisp it up.

  • Herbs: Add fresh basil, thyme, or chives for more depth.

  • Reheating: Microwave or lightly grill to restore warmth and texture.
