4 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Husk and clean the corn, removing all silk. Rinse and pat dry.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

Brush hot corn with garlic butter generously.
Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over the corn while it’s still hot.
For extra melt, return corn to grill or broiler for 2–3 minutes.
Season with smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
