Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned – drained if using canned)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for a savory touch)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Butter
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, creating a rich and flavorful base.
Step 2: Sauté the Corn
- Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and slightly golden.
Step 3: Add the Honey & Seasoning
- Drizzle the honey over the corn and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Stir well so every kernel is coated in the delicious honey butter glaze.
Step 4: Pour in the Cream
- Reduce the heat to low, then slowly add the heavy cream. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
- If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and stir gently. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and serve immediately. Enjoy your Honey Butter Skillet Corn warm!
Notes
- Use fresh corn in summer for the best flavor, but frozen or canned works great too!
- Adjust the sweetness – add more or less honey depending on your taste.
- For extra richness, try adding a tablespoon of cream cheese.
- Want a spicy kick? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Make it cheesier – stir in some shredded cheddar or mozzarella.
