Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (about 600g) frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 ounces (about 55g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Optional: A pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika
Instructions
- Thaw the corn completely and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Place a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Let it melt and bubble slightly.
- Add the corn kernels to the skillet. Stir occasionally, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until slightly golden and heated through.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining butter, honey, cream cheese, milk, and salt. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the honey butter mixture over the corn in the skillet. Stir well to coat each kernel evenly.
- Lower the heat slightly and let the corn simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the corn.
- Taste and adjust the salt or add a pinch of cayenne for heat. Serve warm.
