Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 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
- Melt Butter and Honey: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the salted butter and honey. Allow them to melt together completely, creating a smooth, sweet butter mixture.
- Cook the Corn: Add the frozen corn directly to the skillet. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until the corn is heated through and tender.
- Add Cream Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the cream cheese chunks, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes while stirring occasionally, allowing the cream cheese to melt and coat the corn evenly.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use salted butter to enhance the flavor, but adjust salt levels if substituting with unsalted butter.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika when seasoning.
- Make sure to stir often to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- This dish can be reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- If you prefer fresh corn, cook it slightly longer until tender, adjusting seasoning accordingly.
