Ingredients You’ll Need
- Butter – Salted butter works best. If you use unsalted, add a little extra salt to taste.
- Honey – Adds natural sweetness and a perfect balance to the butter and cream cheese.
- Frozen Corn – I like using gold n’ white corn, but sweet yellow or white corn works just as well.
- Cream Cheese – Just 2 ounces give this dish a rich, creamy texture.
- Salt & Pepper – To season and enhance the flavors.
How to Make Honey Butter Skillet Corn
- Melt the Butter & Honey – In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and honey together.
- Cook the Corn – Add the frozen corn and cook for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
- Make It Creamy – Stir in the cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Let it cook for another 3–5 minutes until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce coats the corn.
- Serve & Enjoy – Serve warm as a quick and delicious side dish.
