Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter (salted)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Honey: In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter together with the honey until fully combined and bubbly.
- Cook Corn: Add the frozen corn to the skillet and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Continue until the corn is heated through and tender.
- Add Cream Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the cream cheese chunks, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese has melted and formed a creamy sauce coating the corn.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the honey butter skillet corn immediately. Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use salted butter to add extra flavor; unsalted butter can be used but increase salt slightly if preferred.
- Stir frequently when adding cream cheese to prevent it from clumping or sticking to the pan.
- This dish can be easily doubled for a larger crowd.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika when seasoning.
