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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Remove the husks and silk from the corn ears, then rinse the corn under cold water and pat dry.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Step 4

Using a butter knife or pastry brush, spread the seasoned butter mixture evenly over each ear of corn.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

While the corn is grilling, prepare the cheese topping by mixing the shredded cheddar and parmesan together in a medium bowl.

Step 7

Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter.

Step 8

While the corn is still hot, generously sprinkle the mixed cheese over each ear, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your cheesy corn on the cob!
