Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 bag (16 oz) frozen sweet corn (no need to thaw)
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the butter and honey: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter together with the honey until the mixture is smooth and bubbling. This will create a sweet and buttery base for the corn.
- Cook the corn: Add the frozen sweet corn directly into the skillet and stir well to coat all the kernels with the honey butter. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is fully heated through and tender.
- Add cream cheese and season: Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the cubed cream cheese steadily until it melts and blends into the corn, creating a creamy texture. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, blending well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Serve warm: Once the cream cheese has fully incorporated, remove from heat and serve the skillet corn warm as a delicious side dish perfect for any meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives while cooking.
- Leftovers reheat well and can be repurposed by adding them to salads or tacos for extra taste.
