This honey butter skillet corn is the perfect side dish when you are a looking for something with a little bit of sweetness. You will love the creamy honey butter sauce that the corn is cooked in, giving you a tasty alternative to good old peas and carrots.
Honey Butter Skillet Corn Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (adjust depending on desired sweetness)
- 16 ounces frozen corn (use a combo of white and yellow corn for nice color variety)
- 2 ounces of cream cheese
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
PRO TIP:
I love the color variety using white and sweet yellow corn. Sometimes you can find a combo bag. You can also simply use half a bag of yellow and half a bag of white corn.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
CORN: You can also use fresh corn for this easy recipe. Cut raw corn kernels from the cob and cook accordingly. Be sure the corn cooks through.
How to Make This Honey Butter Skillet Corn Recipe
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
This corn dish does not make a large quantity. I would recommend doubling it for more than just four people eating this as a small portion side dish.
STEP ONE: In a 10-inch skillet pan over medium heat, melt together the butter and honey, about 2 minutes.
PRO TIP:
This is a creamy, buttery, and sweet corn side dish. The salt and pepper add a savory touch to this honey-sweetened corn. For a less sweet dish, use just 1 tablespoon of honey.
STEP TWO: Add the frozen corn to the skillet and cook, occasionally stirring until heated through, about 10 minutes.
STEP THREE: Add the cream cheese, salt, and pepper and stir over medium heat until the cream cheese has melted completely and the sauce is evenly combined.
STEP FOUR: Remove from the heat; season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
STEP FIVE: Serve immediately.
How To Serve
This perfect sweet corn side dish can be served alongside our oven baked chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and dinner rolls to mop up all of the creamy honey sauce.
