Honey Butter Skillet Corn is a quick and delicious side dish featuring sweet frozen corn cooked in a luscious honey butter sauce with creamy cream cheese and a touch of seasoning. Perfect for adding a sweet and savory flair to any meal, this skillet corn recipe is easy to prepare and irresistibly comforting.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 bag (16 ounces) frozen sweet corn
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter and honey: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and honey together. Stir gently as the mixture melts and begins to bubble slightly, releasing a rich, golden, and sweet aroma.
  2. Add the corn: Pour the frozen sweet corn directly into the honey butter mixture. Stir to coat every kernel evenly. Cook the corn for about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and some edges begin to turn golden.
  3. Stir in the cream cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet. Allow it to slowly melt and blend into the corn, creating a creamy, luscious sauce. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
  4. Season and serve: Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste, enhancing the natural sweetness of the honey butter corn. Serve hot straight from the skillet for a rustic, comforting presentation.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for easier melting and a smoother sauce.
  • For extra flavor, garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives before serving.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a holiday meal.
  • You can substitute frozen corn with fresh corn kernels if available; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on your preferred level of sweetness.
