Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, combine 4 tablespoons of salted butter and 2 tablespoons of honey. Allow the butter to melt completely while stirring gently, ensuring the honey blends smoothly with the butter.
  2. Once the butter and honey are fully melted, add 4 cups of frozen corn to the skillet. Stir the corn into the bubbling mixture and continue cooking for 5-8 minutes.
  3. Now that your corn is nicely heated, it’s time to add 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, along with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir these ingredients together until the cream cheese has melted and combined fully, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Once everything is perfectly blended and creamy, remove the skillet from heat. This honey butter skillet corn is best served immediately, so scoop it onto plates while it’s still warm.
