  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine all compound butter ingredients in a large serving bowl.
  3. Slice each corn on the cob in 4 to 5 pieces: using a small pairing knife, carefully poke the cob where you want to cut the corn, twist the knife in the cob until the small corn piece snaps off.
  4. Add the cut corn on the cob to a large mixing bowl.
  5. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Add 1/4 cup of cheese and toss to coat the corn.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese all over the baking sheet. Place the corn on top of the cheese.
  7. Bake on the medium rack for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the Parmesan at the bottom turns golden and the corn gets slightly charred on the edges. Flip the corn pieces as needed, for an even cooking.
  8. Broil the corn for 1 to 2 minutes, right at the end, if needed.
  9. Add the hot corn to the butter and toss to coat.
  10. Serve right away.

You may have seen my work on TV, Food Network, NYT Cooking, Food52 and more. I make recipes more fun and accessible for home cooks. I immigrated to the US from Transylvania, Romania—where I lived most of my life—in 2021 to pursue my passion for cooking full-time. Here you’ll find a collection of approachable recipes, from weeknight dinners to desserts, you’ll come back to over and over again. Some of my most popular recipes include my chicken paprikash, orange chicken roast with fennel and shallots or butter beans all vodka. Some recipes are inspired by my Romanian-Hungarian upbringing, and most definitely all come with that Transylvanian resourcefulness! I love a good thrift, so make sure to catch my thrift hauls every Sunday on my Instagram!
