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
- Melt butter and honey: In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and honey together until fully combined and bubbly.
- Cook corn: Add the frozen corn to the skillet. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and tender.
- Add cream cheese and season: Stir in the cream cheese chunks, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
- Serve immediately: Remove from heat and serve the corn hot. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for best results.
Notes
- Use salted butter for added flavor, or unsalted if you prefer to control saltiness.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste after cooking.
- The dish reheats well in a microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water or milk to loosen it up.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and use vegan butter.
