A quick, decadent side dish featuring sweet corn kernels enveloped in a rich, creamy honey-butter glaze with a touch of savory cream cheese.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs frozen corn or about 5-6 cups fresh
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 oz cream cheese softened and cubed
  • ½ tsp salt to taste
  • ½ tsp coarsely cracked black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tbsp fresh chives for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and honey together until bubbly.
  • Add the corn to the skillet. Stir to coat the kernels in the honey-butter mixture.
  • Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and heated through.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add the cubed cream cheese.
  • Stir constantly until the cream cheese has completely melted and created a smooth, creamy sauce over the corn.
  • Season with salt and plenty of black pepper.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chives if desired. Serve warm.
