Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Melt the Butter and Honey: In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, melt the salted butter and honey together. Stir occasionally until the mixture becomes smooth and fragrant, creating a sweet and buttery base.
- Cook the Corn: Add the frozen corn directly into the skillet with the butter and honey. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and to allow the corn to heat through thoroughly.
- Add Cream Cheese and Seasonings: Add the cubed cream cheese into the skillet along with the salt and black pepper. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated, producing a creamy and flavorful corn mixture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is well combined and heated through, transfer the Honey Butter Skillet Corn to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish for any meal.
Notes
- Use salted butter to enhance the flavor without needing extra salt beyond the recipe amount.
- The cream cheese adds a creamy texture but can be substituted with mascarpone or sour cream.
- Stir frequently during cooking to avoid burning the honey and butter mixture.
- Frozen corn works best for convenience and consistent texture, but fresh or canned corn can be used with adjusted cooking times.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika with the seasonings.
