-
2 oz cream cheese (about ¼ block)

🍳 Instructions:
-
Melt butter & honey:
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the honey until combined. -
Add the corn:
Pour in the frozen corn and cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly caramelized at the edges. -
Add cream cheese:
Reduce heat to low, add the cream cheese, and stir until fully melted and the corn is creamy. -

Serve warm:

🔁 Variations:
-
Fresh Corn: Use 4 cups of fresh corn kernels instead of frozen — just increase cook time slightly.

-
Spicy Version: Mix in a chopped jalapeño with the corn or drizzle with hot honey before serving.
