Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter (salted)
  • 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

  1. Melt Butter and Honey: In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter together with the honey, stirring gently until combined and bubbly.
  2. Cook Corn: Add the frozen corn to the skillet and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is cooked through and heated evenly.
  3. Add Cream Cheese and Seasonings: Stir in the cream cheese chunks, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cream cheese has melted and fully incorporated into the corn, creating a creamy texture.
  4. Serve: Serve the honey butter skillet corn immediately for the best flavor and texture. Store any leftovers covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use salted butter for enhanced flavor, but unsalted butter can be substituted if preferred.
  • Stir frequently to prevent the corn and cream cheese from sticking and to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a comforting side for any meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
