Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 bag 16 oz frozen corn (Gold n' white or standard sweet corn)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese cut into chunks
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Cook the Corn: Add the frozen corn to the skillet. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the corn to sit undisturbed for a few moments between stirs to encourage a slight sear on the kernels.
  • Make it Creamy: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the cream cheese chunks, salt, and black pepper.
  • Simmer and Coat: Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into a creamy sauce. Let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and coats the corn.
  • Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediatel
