Description

This Best Cheesy Garlic Butter Corn on the Cob recipe brings together tender, juicy corn grilled or boiled to perfection and coated with a luscious garlic butter sauce, then topped with melty Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Garnished with fresh parsley, it’s a flavorful, easy-to-make side dish perfect for any meal or barbecue.

Ingredients

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 Toppings

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

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the corn: Husk the corn ears completely, removing all the silk strands to ensure they’re clean and ready for cooking.
  2. Cook the corn: Choose your cooking method: either preheat your grill to medium-high heat or bring a large pot of water to a boil. For boiling, immerse the husked corn in boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender. For grilling, place the corn directly on the grill grates and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to char evenly on all sides.
  3. Make the garlic butter: While the corn cooks, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, stirring well to blend all the flavors.
  4. Brush cooked corn: Once the corn is done, remove it from the grill or boiling water and immediately brush it generously with the prepared garlic butter mixture, allowing the flavors to soak in.
  5. Add cheese toppings: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses evenly over the hot corn so the cheese melts slightly into the warm garlic butter.
  6. Garnish and serve: Finish by sprinkling fresh chopped parsley over the cheesy corn for a fresh, vibrant look and flavor. Serve immediately for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • You can opt to only boil or only grill depending on your available equipment and flavor preference.
  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili powder to the garlic butter mix.
  • Use freshly grated cheese for the best melting and flavor.
  • This recipe is great for outdoor barbecues or as a quick weeknight side dish.
  • Leftover corn can be refrigerated and reheated but is best served fresh.
