Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels Fresh corn = pop and texture.
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter Helps control salt.
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese Adds creaminess fast.
  • Salt and black pepper To taste
Optional Garnishes
  • chopped chives
  • red pepper flakes
  • smoked paprika
  • shredded Parmesan

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt until it sizzles and smells nutty.
  2. Add the corn to the skillet and stir to coat every kernel in the butter.
  3. Cook the corn for 4–5 minutes, watching for light golden edges and some caramelization on the kernels.
  4. Drizzle the honey over the corn and stir until it bubbles and glosses the kernels.
  5. Drop the cream cheese in small dollops across the skillet and stir until melted and creamy.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished as desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Can be frozen for up to 1 month, but texture may soften. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
