Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz frozen corn
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper

Instructions

  1. Start by melting 2 tablespoons of salted butter along with 2 tablespoons of honey in a large skillet over medium-high heat. As the butter starts to foam and give off a rich, golden aroma, you’ll know it’s ready.
  2. Once the butter and honey are well combined, add a 16 oz bag of frozen corn to the skillet. Stir the corn into the mixture so it’s evenly coated. Cook for about 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. After the corn is heated, add 2 oz of softened cream cheese to the skillet, along with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of black pepper. Stir well until the cream cheese begins to melt.
  4. Continue to stir the ingredients together, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Keep the skillet on the heat until the cream cheese is nicely melted and combined.
  5. Once all ingredients are mingled to perfection, serve your Honey Butter Skillet Corn immediately for the best taste and texture.
