Main Ingredients
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn
- 2 oz cream cheese, cut into chunks
Instructions
- Heat the butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoons of salted butter until it foams and starts to sizzle gently.
- Add the frozen corn: Pour in the 16-ounce bag of frozen corn directly into the skillet. Stir occasionally and cook until the corn is heated through and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Incorporate honey: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the warm corn. Stir continually to evenly coat the kernels, enhancing the natural sweetness.
- Add cream cheese: Add 2 ounces of cream cheese chunks to the skillet. Continue to stir gently until the cream cheese melts and blends smoothly with the corn, creating a creamy texture.
- Final seasoning and serve: Once everything is melted and combined, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve immediately as a luscious, sweet-savory side dish.
Notes
- Use fresh frozen corn for the best texture and sweetness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives.
- This dish pairs excellently with grilled meats and roasted vegetables.
- Adjust honey quantity to preferred sweetness level.
