Description
Honey Butter Skillet Corn is a quick and flavorful side dish featuring tender corn kernels cooked in a luscious blend of butter, honey, and cream cheese. This creamy and slightly sweet corn is perfect for complementing any meal and can be prepared in just 15 minutes using a skillet on the stovetop.
Ingredients
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 over medium-high heat, melt the butter and honey together until fully combined and slightly bubbling.
- Cook the corn: Add the frozen corn to the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and tender.
- Add cream cheese and seasoning: Mix in the cream cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously as the cream cheese melts and blends into the corn, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Serve immediately: Once the mixture is creamy and well combined, remove from heat and serve warm. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Make sure to stir regularly to prevent the cream cheese from sticking and to ensure even melting.
- You can substitute fresh corn if desired, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
- This dish reheats well in a microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of milk or water to loosen the creaminess.
