Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 package (16 oz) frozen corn or 3 cups fresh corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- ½ teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Melt Butter & Honey: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the honey until fully combined, creating a sweet and buttery base for the corn.
- Add Corn: Pour the frozen or fresh corn into the skillet. Stir well to coat all the kernels with the honey butter mixture. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is hot and beginning to caramelize slightly for enhanced flavor.
- Creamy Finish: Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts completely and blends into the corn, forming a smooth and creamy glaze.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the creamy honey butter corn to a serving dish and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh corn if available for a sweeter, fresher flavor; frozen corn works well and is convenient year-round.
- Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste preferences.
- For a richer dish, you can add a dash of smoked paprika or chili powder for subtle heat and depth.
- Serve as a side dish with grilled meats, roasted poultry, or your favorite vegetarian mains.
- Reheat gently in a skillet to preserve creaminess if serving leftovers.
