Description
Cheesy Garlic Butter Corn on the Cob is a flavorful, easy-to-make side dish featuring juicy corn slathered in rich garlic butter and melted cheese—perfect for BBQs or a quick summer snack.
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob, husks removed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil or grill the corn for 7–10 minutes until tender and cooked through.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, without burning the garlic.
- Brush the garlic butter generously over each cooked cob.
- Sprinkle Parmesan and mozzarella over the hot corn so the cheese melts and adheres.
- Season with salt, pepper, and optionally top with fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
Notes
- For a golden, bubbly cheese topping, broil the corn briefly after adding cheese.
- Use feta or sharp cheddar for a twist on the flavor.
- Chili powder or paprika adds a spicy kick if desired.
- Wrap and refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days; reheat in oven or microwave with a fresh drizzle of garlic butter.
