Ingredients

Corn:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels

Butter Mixture:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes:

  • Chopped chives
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Smoked paprika
  • Shredded Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until sizzling.
  2. Cook Corn: Add the corn and stir to coat in the butter. Cook for 4–5 minutes, allowing some kernels to lightly caramelize.
  3. Add Honey: Drizzle in the honey and stir well, letting it bubble and coat the corn.
  4. Stir in Cream Cheese: Add cream cheese in small dollops, stirring until fully melted and the mixture becomes creamy.
  5. Season and Serve: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, straight from the skillet, garnished as desired.

Notes

  • Use canned corn if needed—just be sure to drain and pat dry first.
  • Make it vegan with dairy-free butter, vegan cream cheese, and agave instead of honey.
  • Add-ins like crumbled bacon or jalapeños can bring a fun twist.
