Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter (salted)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat Butter and Honey: In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and honey together. Stir to combine and ensure the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
  2. Cook Corn: Add the frozen corn to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and tender.
  3. Add Cream Cheese and Seasonings: Mix in the cream cheese chunks along with salt and black pepper. Stir continuously to help the cream cheese melt evenly and coat the corn, cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes until creamy and well combined.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the honey butter corn immediately for the best flavor. Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use salted butter for added flavor, or unsalted butter if preferred and adjust the salt accordingly.
  • Stirring occasionally helps to evenly cook the corn and prevent burning.
  • You can substitute fresh corn kernels if available, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a sweet side for barbecues.
