Honey Butter Skillet Corn: The Best Comfort Food Side Dish
Honey Butter Skillet Corn is a delightful side dish that combines sweet and savory flavors, making it a perfect comfort food.
Equipment
- skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon salted butter adds richness and depth
- 2 tablespoon honey for a touch of natural sweetness
- 1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn the base of the dish
- 2 oz cream cheese cut into chunks, makes it extra creamy
Instructions
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it covers the bottom of the skillet, preventing any sticking.
- Once the butter has fully melted, stir in the honey until it's well incorporated with the butter, creating a sweet and savory base.
- Add the frozen corn to the skillet, stirring constantly to coat each kernel with the honey-butter mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the corn is heated through.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese chunks. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts and combines with the corn, creating a smooth, creamy texture.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and fully blended. Serve hot, and enjoy the sweet, creamy goodness!
Notes
Substitute fresh or canned corn for frozen if preferred. Fresh corn will have a slightly different texture and may require a couple of extra minutes to soften. Sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or black pepper for a subtle contrast to the sweetness. Add a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or chives for a touch of color and flavor.
