Description

This Cheesy Garlic Butter Corn on the Cob recipe is a delicious, easy-to-make side dish perfect for any meal. Fresh corn is smothered in a flavorful mixture of melted butter, minced garlic, and topped with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese. Garnished with fresh herbs, it makes for a delightful and satisfying treat that complements a variety of main courses.

Ingredients

Scale

Corn and Butter Mixture

  • 4 ears fresh corn, husked
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Cheese and Seasoning

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn: Husk the ears of fresh corn and rinse them under cold water to remove any remaining silk strands. Set aside to drain.
  2. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with minced garlic. Mix well to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
  3. Cook the Corn: Place the corn on a stovetop grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Brush the corn evenly with the garlic butter mixture. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly charred.
  4. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle shredded cheese over each ear of corn while still on the pan. Cover with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Season and Garnish: Remove the corn from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
  6. Serve: Serve the cheesy garlic butter corn hot as a flavorful side dish to your favorite meals.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for a stronger or milder garlic flavor.
  • You can substitute unsalted butter with salted butter if desired but reduce added salt accordingly.
  • Experiment with different cheese blends like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or Parmesan for varied flavors.
  • If you don’t have a grill pan, a regular skillet will work fine for cooking the corn.
  • For a spicy twist, sprinkle a little smoked paprika or cayenne pepper before serving.
