Corn on the cob with basil parmesean butter

This is one of our absolute favorite recipes. Anything with basil does it for me. We don't always grill the corn, but if you want to that makes it even more summery.

Ingredients:
1/4 C. unsalted butter, softened.
1/4 C. freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
2 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. granulated garlic

4 ears corn, husked

Directions:
1. To make butter: in a small bowl, mash the butter
ingredients together with the back of a fork, and then stir to
distribute the seasonings throughout the butter.
2. Brush about 1 Tbps. of the seasoned butter all over each
ear of corn. Grill over Direct medium heat until browned in
spots and tender, 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. (Or
just boil for 10 minutes or less) Serve warm with the remaining butter
spread on the corn.

This butter is good on anything--bread, veggies, meats, etc.
