Ingredients
  

For the Butter Glaze
  • 2 tablespoons Salted Butter Adds richness and flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Adjust according to taste.
For the Corn Mixture
  • 16 oz Frozen Corn Base ingredient; fresh corn can be used for a unique twist.
  • 2 oz Cream Cheese Ensure it's softened for easy melting.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds a subtle spicy note.

Equipment

  • cast-iron skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by heating 2 tablespoons of salted butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts and begins to bubble, pour in 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir the mixture vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until fully combined and aromatic.
  2. Add a 16 oz bag of frozen corn to the skillet, stirring to coat the kernels evenly with the buttery mixture. Continue to cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and bright yellow.
  3. Lower the heat slightly and incorporate 2 oz of room-temperature cream cheese into the skillet. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir gently for another 3-5 minutes until the cream cheese has melted, creating a creamy coating over the corn.
  4. Serve the Honey Butter Skillet Corn hot as a comforting side dish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
