This Cheesy Garlic Butter Corn on the Cob is the ultimate summer side dish — juicy corn smothered in a rich, garlicky butter sauce with melted cheese and herbs. Perfect for BBQs, family dinners, or any time you crave something buttery, cheesy, and irresistible! 😋

Ingredients

• 4 ears of corn, husked
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky kick)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese or mozzarella (for extra melt)

Instructions

1. Cook the corn: Boil or grill the corn until tender (about 8–10 minutes). Pat dry and set aside.
2. Make garlic butter: In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t let it burn!). Stir in parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.
3. Brush generously: Brush the garlic butter over the hot corn, coating every kernel with that buttery goodness.
4. Add cheese: Sprinkle grated cheese over the top while the corn is still warm so it melts beautifully.
5. Serve: Garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of chili flakes for color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy! 🌽✨
