Ingredients:
6 ears of fresh corn on the cob
1/2 cup of butter, softened
1/4 cup of chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or cilantro)
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Peel back the husks of the corn but leave them attached at the stem. Remove the silk from the corn and then pull the husks back up to cover the corn.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, herbs, salt, and pepper.
Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
Carefully pull back the husks and spread the herb butter mixture over the corn. Sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese.
Continue to grill for an additional 5 minutes until the corn is tender and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Remove from the grill and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Additional Tips:
For an extra kick of flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the herb butter mixture.
If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the corn in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes.
For a fun and convenient way to serve the corn, place each ear on a skewer before grilling. This also makes it easier to rotate the corn on the grill.
Experiment with different herb combinations such as rosemary and thyme or basil and oregano to find your favorite flavor profile.
If you have leftovers, you can cut the corn off the cob and use it in salads, salsa, or even as a topping for pizza.
