Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons honey
16 ounces (about 3 cups) frozen sweet corn
2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small chunks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Melt Butter and Honey:Â In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and honey together, stirring until well combined.
Add Corn:Â Add the frozen corn to the skillet, stirring to coat the kernels with the honey-butter mixture. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through.
Incorporate Cream Cheese:Â Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese chunks to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture becomes creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
Season:Â Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve:Â Transfer the creamy honey butter corn to a serving dish and enjoy warm.
Notes
For a touch of heat, consider adding a pinch of paprika or red pepper flakes.
Fresh corn kernels can be used in place of frozen corn when in season.
This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a standalone side for holiday gatherings.
