Description
This creamy Parmesan grilled corn is a delicious side dish perfect for summer barbecues.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cobs fresh corn on the cob
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Prepare the Corn: Remove the husks and silks from the corn. Brush the corn with melted butter to ensure even grilling.
- Grill the Corn: Place the corn on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and has char marks.
- Prepare the Creamy Parmesan Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Add the grated Parmesan cheese gradually, allowing it to melt into a smooth sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Combine Corn and Sauce: Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle the creamy Parmesan sauce generously over the hot corn.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the corn for added flavor. Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes to the Parmesan sauce.
- If you prefer spicier corn, sprinkle some smoked paprika or cayenne pepper before serving.
- Use a grill pan if a traditional grill is not available.
- Adjust seasoning according to personal taste preferences, particularly the cheese and salt levels.
