Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen corn, thawed
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Honey: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and honey together until smooth and bubbling, creating a sweet and rich base for the corn.
- Cook Corn: Add the thawed corn to the skillet and stir well to coat all the kernels evenly in the honey butter mixture. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and develops lightly golden spots.
- Add Cream Cheese: Incorporate the cream cheese cubes into the skillet, stirring continuously until the cheese melts fully and blends into the corn, resulting in a creamy, glossy coating.
- Season and Serve: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve the honey butter skillet corn hot as a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- For added flavor, stir in a pinch of smoked paprika or a handful of chopped green onions for a subtle smoky or fresh onion note.
- This dish can also be made with fresh corn off the cob during summer months for an extra sweet and fresh taste.
