Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag (16 ounces / 454 grams) frozen corn
- 2 ounces (57 grams) cream cheese, cut into chunks
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter (salted preferred)
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Warm a skillet over medium-high heat, gently blending honey and butter until they create a smooth, golden mixture.
- Introduce frozen corn kernels to the skillet, allowing them to sizzle and heat for 6-7 minutes, stirring periodically to ensure even warming and prevent sticking.
- Incorporate cream cheese into the corn, seasoning with salt and pepper, and stir continuously until the cream cheese transforms into a silky, enveloping sauce that coats each kernel.
- Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring the corn reaches a tender consistency and the flavors meld harmoniously.
- Transfer the creamy, sweet corn directly to serving dishes, presenting the dish while it remains piping hot and lustrous.
Notes
- Check corn is fully thawed and excess water drained to prevent watery texture.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother, faster melting into the skillet mixture.
- Adjust honey quantity based on desired sweetness level, tasting as you cook.
- Consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor complexity and visual appeal.
