Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 oz cream cheese
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once all ingredients are mingled to perfection, serve your Honey Butter Skillet Corn immediately for the best taste and texture.

- Perfect Sweetness: Use the right amount of honey for balance.
