Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons salted butter
-
2 tablespoons honey (raw or local if possible)
-
1 bag (16 ounces) frozen corn (no need to thaw)
-
2 ounces cream cheese, cubed
-
Optional: salt and pepper to taste
-
Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the honey until bubbly and smooth.
-
Add the frozen corn straight into the skillet. Stir occasionally and cook for 5–7 minutes, until the corn is heated through and glossy.
-
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cubed cream cheese and stir gently until completely melted and the corn is evenly coated in a creamy sauce.
-
Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
-
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm!
Notes
-
Fresh corn: You can substitute 3 cups of fresh corn kernels if it’s in season—just cook for a few extra minutes.
-
Dairy-free option: Use plant-based butter and dairy-free cream cheese to make this recipe suitable for non-dairy diets.
-
Want a little kick? A pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce can spice things up beautifully.
-
Make ahead: This reheats wonderfully! Just warm it gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of milk or water if needed.
