How This Recipe Comes Together
Let’s break it down simply. You’re about to engage in a delightful cooking experience that blends sweet and savory beautifully. Start by melting butter in your skillet, then add the corn and let it heat through. In a few magical minutes, you’ll stir in honey and cream cheese, creating a luscious, creamy consistency. Finally, you’ll finish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and, if you’re feeling fancy, a garnish of fresh herbs. It’s that straightforward!

- 2 tablespoons butter (salted preferred)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

You can easily substitute the cream cheese with sour cream for a tangy twist or use unsalted butter if you prefer to control the salt levels.
