Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons pure 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: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the salted butter and pure honey. Allow them to melt together, stirring gently until fully combined and slightly bubbling.
- Cook the corn: Add the frozen corn directly into the skillet with the butter and honey mixture. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is completely heated through and starts to get tender.
- Add cream cheese and seasonings: Stir in the cream cheese chunks, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese has fully melted into the corn, resulting in a creamy, well-combined mixture.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy your honey butter skillet corn as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
- Adjust honey quantity for sweeter or less sweet corn.
- You can substitute frozen corn with fresh corn kernels if available.
- Serve alongside grilled meats or with a hearty dinner for a comforting complement.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika with the black pepper.
