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. Melt Butter and Honey: In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and honey together until fully combined and bubbly.
  2. Cook the Corn: Add the frozen corn to the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and tender.
  3. Add Cream Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the cream cheese chunks, salt, and black pepper, mixing well until the cream cheese melts into the corn, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes while stirring occasionally to achieve a creamy texture.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately as a warm, sweet, and savory side dish. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use salted butter for a balanced flavor unless you prefer to add more salt separately.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent the corn from sticking to the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or a hearty vegetarian main.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
