🍯 Honey Butter Skillet Corn

(Serves 4–6)

🧾 Ingredients

• 3 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned & drained)

• 2 tbsp butter

• 2 tbsp honey

• 2 oz cream cheese (about 1/4 cup)

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Optional: a pinch of cayenne for a subtle kick or chopped chives for garnish

🔥 Instructions

1. Heat the Butter & Honey

   • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and honey together until bubbly and fragrant.

2. Add the Corn

   • Stir in the corn and cook for 5–6 minutes, until heated through and lightly golden in spots (if using fresh or frozen corn — less for canned).

3. Stir in the Cream Cheese

   • Add the cream cheese and stir gently until melted and fully combined, making the corn creamy and luscious.

4. Season & Serve

   • Add salt and pepper to taste. For a bit of contrast, a tiny pinch of cayenne or chili flakes works well.

   • Serve warm, optionally garnished with chives or green onions.

🧠 Tips & Variations:

• Use roasted corn for deeper flavor.

• Add crumbled bacon for a salty crunch.

• Try a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of cotija cheese for a Mexican street corn vibe.
