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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and place a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 30 seconds in the microwave).
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix together the parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Place the cooked corn on a lined baking sheet. Brush each ear of corn generously with melted butter.
Step 6
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the corn, making sure to coat all sides.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the corn from the oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, for garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Cheese on the Cob!
