Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn
- 2 ounces cream cheese
Primary Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
Supporting Seasonings:
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons salted butter and 2 tablespoons honey in a skillet over medium-high heat until they combine smoothly.
- Pour the entire 16-ounce bag of frozen corn into the skillet, stirring to coat each kernel in the butter-honey mixture.
- Cook the corn for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, ensuring it heats evenly and becomes tender.
- Drop 2 ounces of cream cheese chunks directly into the skillet, allowing them to soften and integrate with the corn.
- Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper over the corn, creating a balanced seasoning profile.
- Stir the ingredients thoroughly, letting the cream cheese melt and create a creamy sauce for 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat when the corn is heated through and the cream cheese has completely melted into a smooth consistency.
- Serve the corn immediately while it’s warm and the sauce is perfectly creamy.
Notes
- Fresh corn kernels work just as well as frozen, giving the dish a slightly different texture and brighter flavor.
- For a lighter version, swap cream cheese with Greek yogurt or use less butter to reduce calories.
- Garnish with chopped chives or green onions to add a fresh, crisp element that complements the rich, sweet corn.
- Keep the heat at medium-high and stir frequently to prevent burning and ensure even cooking of the corn and cream cheese.
