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, or shredded Parmesan
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until sizzling.
- Add the corn 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 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.
