Ingredients
Main Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons honey
- 16 oz frozen corn or corn ribs (1 bag)
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Honey: In a large skillet pan, ideally cast-iron, melt the butter and honey over medium-high heat until fully combined and melted.
- Cook Corn: Add the frozen corn or corn ribs to the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking until the corn is tender and cooked through.
- Add Cream Cheese and Seasonings: Add the cream cheese chunks, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir the mixture frequently and allow it to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cream cheese is completely melted and incorporated into the corn, creating a creamy glaze.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the Honey Butter Skillet Corn immediately. Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for later use.
Notes
- Use a cast-iron skillet for best flavor and presentation, but any large skillet pan will work.
- You can substitute fresh corn if available, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and butter with vegan alternatives.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
