Honey Butter Skillet Corn

Ingredients

• 4 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk, optional
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional

Instructions

1. Melt the butter: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely.
2. Cook the corn: Add the corn kernels and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and slightly golden.
3. Add the honey: Drizzle the honey over the corn and stir well so every kernel is coated.
4. Make it creamy: Add the softened cream cheese and stir until completely melted and combined with the corn. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of heavy cream or milk.
5. Season: Stir in the salt and black pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing all the flavors to come together.
6. Finish and serve: Remove from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

 Tips

• For extra sweetness, add another teaspoon of honey.
• For a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
• Fresh corn gives the best flavor, but frozen corn works beautifully too.
• A little extra butter stirred in at the end makes the corn especially rich and glossy.

Sweet, buttery, creamy, and absolutely irresistible!
