This Cheesy Baked Corn on the Cob stands out because of its rich combination of flavors and textures. The secret lies in the balance of cheeses—using both sharp cheddar for its robust flavor and a creamy cheese like mozzarella for that irresistible gooeyness. Baking the corn in the oven allows the cheese to melt perfectly, creating a crust that adds a satisfying crunch.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 ears Corn on the cob
¼ cup Butter, melted
½ cup Mayonnaise
1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
¼ cup Chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro)
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Husk the corn, removing all silk and any blemishes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Stir in the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, mixing until well incorporated.
Carefully coat each ear of corn in the cheese mixture, ensuring it's evenly covered.
Place the corn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs before serving.
