Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups grated parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and place a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the corn on the cob for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 30 seconds in the microwave).
In a separate bowl, mix together the parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the cooked corn on a lined baking sheet. Brush each ear of corn generously with melted butter.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the corn, making sure to coat all sides.
Place the corn under the broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the corn from the oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Cheese on the Cob!
