Main 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: In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and honey together until well combined and bubbling gently.
- Cook the Corn: Add the frozen corn to the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is fully heated through and slightly tender.
- Add Cream Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the cream cheese chunks, salt, and black pepper, cooking for another 3-5 minutes while stirring occasionally to ensure the cream cheese melts and blends into a creamy sauce.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately. Any leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use salted butter to enhance the flavor, but adjust salt accordingly if using unsalted butter.
- For a richer taste, allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before adding.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or can be served as a comforting vegetarian side.
- Reheat leftovers gently on the stovetop to prevent curdling of the cream cheese.
