Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn
  • 2 oz cream cheese, cut into chunks

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it covers the bottom of the skillet, preventing any sticking and forming a buttery base.
  2. Add the honey: Stir the honey into the melted butter until it’s fully incorporated, creating a sweet and savory mixture that will coat the corn.
  3. Cook the corn: Add the frozen corn to the skillet and stir constantly to coat each kernel evenly with the honey-butter mixture. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the corn is heated through.
  4. Melt in the cream cheese: Reduce the heat to low and add cream cheese chunks. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts completely and blends with the corn, making the dish extra creamy.
  5. Simmer and serve: Let the mixture simmer on low for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating and blending. Serve hot and enjoy the sweet, creamy skillet corn.

Notes

  • Fresh corn option: Substitute fresh or canned corn for frozen if preferred. Fresh corn may require a couple extra minutes to soften and will have a slightly different texture.
  • Add a bit of spice: Sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or black pepper for subtle heat that balances the sweetness.
  • Make it herby: Add fresh chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and added flavor.
