If you live in the Midwest or anywhere with a love for fresh, sweet corn, you know that summer means one thing: an abundance of delicious corn straight from local farms. There’s nothing quite like biting into fresh corn that’s been picked at its peak ripeness, and during those warm months, farmers’ stands are overflowing with it. While fresh corn on the cob is a classic favorite, this Honey Butter Skillet Corn recipe offers a quick, tasty, and comforting twist that brings out the natural sweetness of corn with a creamy, buttery glaze that everyone will enjoy.
This dish is wonderfully simple, made in just one skillet, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor. It’s ideal for busy weeknights, casual dinners, or whenever you want a comforting side that pairs well with just about any main course—grilled chicken, steak, or even a veggie burger. Plus, it uses frozen corn, making it easy to enjoy this sweet, buttery goodness any time of the year, no matter where you live.
Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons salted butter — the butter adds a rich, creamy base and enhances the natural sweetness of the corn. Using salted butter helps season the dish from the start, but feel free to adjust salt later if needed.
-
2 tablespoons honey — this adds a lovely floral sweetness that balances perfectly with the buttery richness and savory elements.
-
1 (16 oz) bag frozen corn — frozen corn keeps the recipe convenient and accessible year-round, and it cooks quickly without losing flavor or texture. I love using gold and white corn for a colorful look, but any frozen corn will work great.
-
2 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks — cream cheese melts into the skillet, creating a smooth, velvety texture that coats the corn beautifully and adds a subtle tang.
-
1/4 teaspoon salt — to enhance all the flavors.
-
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper — adds just the right hint of spice to contrast the sweetness.
