Juicy corn on the cob smothered in a cheesy garlic butter sauce—rich, savory, and perfect as a side dish or snack.
Equipment
- Large pot or saucepan
- Mixing Bowl
- Knife & brush (for butter & cheese mixture)
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob husks removed
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Garnish (optional)
- chopped parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Add corn ears to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 8–10 minutes.
- While corn cooks, in a mixing bowl combine softened butter, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- When corn is done, drain and transfer to a serving platter or tray.
- Brush or spoon the cheesy garlic butter mixture evenly over each ear of corn.
- Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
You can also grill the corn instead of boiling for a smokier flavor. Adjust garlic, salt, or cheese as preferred. If sauce is too thick, add a little more cream or a splash of milk.
