Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (adjust based on desired sweetness)
- 16 ounces frozen corn (a mix of white and yellow corn recommended for color variety)
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Melt butter and honey: In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and honey together, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes until combined and fragrant.
- Cook the corn: Add the frozen corn to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through, about 10 minutes. This ensures the corn is fully thawed and warmed.
- Add cream cheese and seasonings: Stir in the cream cheese, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Continue stirring over medium heat until the cream cheese has melted completely and the sauce is smooth and evenly mixed.
- Adjust seasoning and serve: Remove the skillet from heat and taste the corn; add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve the honey butter skillet corn immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Using a mix of white and yellow corn not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the flavor profile. If unavailable, you can mix equal parts of each from separate bags.
- This recipe yields a small portion suitable for 4 servings. Consider doubling the ingredients for larger groups or bigger portions.
- The dish balances sweetness with the salt and pepper seasoning; for a less sweet taste, use just 1 tablespoon of honey instead of 2.
