Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 ounces of cream cheese softened and cut into small pieces
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper optional, adjust to preference
- 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt or adjusted to taste
- 3 cups of frozen corn kernels or one 15-ounce can of sweet corn, well-drained
- 2 tablespoons of pure honey
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once fully melted, stir in the corn and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, allowing the kernels to heat through and develop a touch of golden color in spots.
- Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Add the cubed cream cheese and drizzle in the honey. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and the cream cheese is fully incorporated into the sauce.
- Season with salt and, if desired, black pepper. Stir thoroughly and let the mixture cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
