# What You'll Gather:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 tbsp salted butter
02 -
2 tbsp honey
03 -
1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn
04 -
2 oz cream cheese, cut into chunks
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it covers the bottom of the skillet, preventing any sticking.
02 -
Once the butter has fully melted, stir in the honey until it's well incorporated with the butter, creating a sweet and savory base.
03 -
Add the frozen corn to the skillet, stirring constantly to coat each kernel with the honey-butter mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the corn is heated through.
04 -
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese chunks. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts and combines with the corn, creating a smooth, creamy texture.
05 -
Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and fully blended. Serve hot, and enjoy the sweet, creamy goodness!
# Important Tips:
01 -
Fresh corn option: Substitute fresh or canned corn for frozen if preferred. Fresh corn will have a slightly different texture and may require a couple of extra minutes to soften.
02 -
Add a bit of spice: Sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or black pepper for a subtle contrast to the sweetness.
03 -
Make it herby: Add a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or chives for a touch of color and flavor.
