Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ears of fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or parmesan)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven or grill: If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, heat to medium-high heat.
- Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the corn: Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each ear of corn.
- Cook the corn:
- Oven Method: Wrap each ear of corn in foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Grill Method: Place directly on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes until slightly charred.
- Stovetop Method: Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning frequently.
- Add the cheese: Once the corn is cooked, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. If needed, place back in the oven, grill, or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley (if using) and serve hot. Enjoy!
