### 👩🍳 How to Make Cheesy Garlic Butter Corn on the Cob
**1. Cook the corn:**
Boil, grill, or roast the corn until tender and slightly charred for extra flavor. Boiling takes about 7–10 minutes, grilling or roasting takes about 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
**2. Make the garlic butter:**
In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
**3. Slather on the goodness:**
While the corn is hot, generously spread the garlic butter all over each ear.
**4. Add the cheese:**
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the buttered corn while it’s still warm, allowing it to melt slightly. For extra melty cheese, pop the corn under the broiler for 1–2 minutes.
**5. Garnish and serve:**
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives for color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately.
