Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Honey: In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, melt the salted butter together with the honey until fully combined and liquid.
- Cook Corn: Add the frozen corn directly to the skillet. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking, until the corn is heated through and tender.
- Add Cream Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the cream cheese chunks, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese has melted and combined smoothly with the corn, creating a creamy texture.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the honey butter skillet corn immediately for best flavor and texture. Store leftover portions in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh or canned corn if frozen is unavailable, adjusting cooking time as needed.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper.
- This dish pairs beautifully with grilled meats or roasted chicken.
- Reheat leftovers gently on the stovetop to preserve creaminess.
- This recipe serves 6 as a side dish portion.
