- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 (16 oz) bag frozen sweet corn or 3 cups fresh corn
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat butter and honey: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and honey together, stirring until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble.
- Cook the corn: Add the corn to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and turns slightly golden.
- Add cream cheese: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cubed cream cheese. Cook for 2–3 minutes more, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese fully melts and creates a creamy, glossy coating on the corn.
- Season and serve: Season the skillet corn with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm immediately as a delicious side dish.
