  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces frozen sweet corn
  • ½ stick salted butter (about 4 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Honey: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt together the butter and honey until fully combined and bubbling slightly.
  2. Add Corn and Cook: Stir in the frozen sweet corn and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and starting to get tender.
  3. Add Cream Cheese: Incorporate the cream cheese into the skillet and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently to allow the cream cheese to melt smoothly into the mixture.
  4. Season: Season the skillet corn with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • You can use fresh corn if available; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter and adjust the salt based on taste.
  • Add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra freshness.
  • For a spicier twist, sprinkle some red pepper flakes along with black pepper.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats and roasted vegetables.
