  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 (10 oz.) packages frozen corn, thawed
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the corn: In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, sauté the thawed corn for about 5 minutes until it is soft and heated through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Add butter and honey: Stir in the butter and honey, allowing them to melt smoothly into the corn, creating a glossy and sweet base.
  3. Incorporate cream cheese and season: Add the softened cream cheese along with the sea salt and pepper. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts completely and forms a creamy sauce coating the corn evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  4. Serve hot: Remove from heat, dish out the honey butter skillet corn, and serve immediately for the best creamy texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use thawed corn to ensure even cooking and prevent excess water in the dish.
  • Softened cream cheese blends better into the skillet for a smoother sauce.
  • Adjust honey amount to your preferred sweetness.
  • For extra richness, a splash of heavy cream can be added when stirring in cream cheese.
  • This dish is best served fresh and hot to maintain the creamy texture.
