Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the husks and silk from the corn ears, then rinse the corn under cold water and pat dry.
In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Using a butter knife or pastry brush, spread the seasoned butter mixture evenly over each ear of corn.
Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even charring. The kernels should be tender and slightly browned in spots.
While the corn is grilling, prepare the cheese topping by mixing the shredded cheddar and parmesan together in a medium bowl.
Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
While the corn is still hot, generously sprinkle the mixed cheese over each ear, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cheesy corn on the cob!
