Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 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
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until sizzling.
- Add the corn to the skillet and stir to coat in the butter. Cook for 4–5 minutes, allowing some kernels to lightly caramelize.
- Drizzle in the honey and stir well, letting it bubble and coat the corn.
- Add cream cheese in small dollops, stirring until fully melted and the mixture becomes creamy.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve hot straight from the skillet, garnished with your choice of optional toppings.
Notes
- For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream when adding the cream cheese.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.
- This dish can be made with frozen corn, but fresh corn adds a better texture and sweetness.
- Serve this corn as a side for almost any main course, from grilled meats to roasted vegetables.
