Description

Sweet, buttery, and luxuriously creamy, this Honey Butter Skillet Corn Recipe is a quick, one-skillet side dish that pairs perfectly with everything from grilled meats to holiday roasts. With just a few ingredients and 15 minutes, you’ll have a dish that’s comforting, flavorful, and completely irresistible.


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

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until sizzling.
  2. Add the corn and stir to coat in the butter. Cook for 4–5 minutes, allowing some kernels to lightly caramelize.
  3. Drizzle in the honey and stir well, letting it bubble and coat the corn.
  4. Add cream cheese in small dollops, stirring until fully melted and the mixture becomes creamy.
  5. 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.
