Ingredients

Scale

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 coats the bottom evenly to prevent sticking and create a flavorful base.
  2. Add the honey: Stir the honey into the melted butter until it is fully incorporated, forming a delicious sweet and savory mixture.
  3. Cook the corn: Add the frozen corn to the skillet and stir constantly to coat all kernels with the honey-butter mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the corn is thoroughly heated.
  4. Melt in the cream cheese: Reduce heat to low, add cream cheese chunks, and gently stir until the cream cheese melts completely and blends with the corn to form a creamy texture.
  5. Simmer and serve: Let the mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and well combined. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use salted butter for optimal flavor, but unsalted butter can be substituted with a pinch of salt added.
  • For a dairy-free option, try cream cheese alternatives like vegan cream cheese.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Stirring constantly while cooking the corn ensures even heating and coating with the honey butter.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a comforting side on its own.
