Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients for this recipe. The corn should already be cooked. (TIP: For detailed instructions on how to boil corn, refer to [How to Boil Corn] @6944166.)
Step 2
Rinse the cooked corn cobs under water and pat them dry. Then, carefully cut each cob in half to create manageable portions.
Step 3
To make handling easier while grilling, insert skewers into the ends of the corn halves. If you don’t have skewers, you can sharpen the tip of a wooden chopstick with a knife and use that. Don’t worry if you don’t have skewers; the recipe works without them too!
Step 4
Now, let’s make the irresistible sauce! Place a frying pan on your stovetop, but do not turn on the heat yet. Add the granulated sugar (2-3 Tbsp), butter slices (about 3 Tbsp), salt (2/3 to 1 Tbsp), and mayonnaise (2 Tbsp) directly into the pan. Turn the heat to low and stir gently with a spatula or spoon until all ingredients are melted and combined into a smooth sauce.
Step 5
Once the sauce has melted and emulsified, add the corn halves to the pan. Roll them around to coat evenly with the sauce. Grill over low heat until the corn turns a nice golden brown. You already have a delicious “magic” corn at this stage! For an extra flavor boost, you can now add any of your optional ingredients.
Step 6
After grilling, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese generously over the corn to add a nutty, savory dimension.
Step 7
Time to melt the cheese! If you’re using mozzarella, transfer the grilled corn to a plate, pile on a generous amount of shredded mozzarella, and microwave for 2-3 minutes until melted and gooey. If using cheddar cheese, arrange the cheese slices over the corn and gently melt them in the frying pan over very low heat, or you can wrap the corn with cheddar cheese slices and then pan-fry.
Step 8
Finally, garnish with a sprinkle of dried parsley for a touch of color and aroma. Your sweet and savory “Addictive Cheese Grilled Corn” is now complete!
