Honey Butter Skillet Corn

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn on the cob, carefully remove the kernels from the cob using a sharp knife. If using frozen corn kernels, thaw them according to package instructions. Set aside.
2. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely and begin to bubble slightly.
3. Add the Corn: Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the corn kernels to the skillet. Spread them out evenly in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
4. Sauté the Corn: Cook the corn kernels in the melted butter, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until they are tender and lightly golden brown. This step allows the corn to develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
5. Drizzle with Honey: Once the corn is cooked to perfection, drizzle the honey over the top, evenly distributing it across the skillet. The honey adds a touch of sweetness that balances perfectly with the savory butter and tender corn.
6. Season to Taste: Season the Honey Butter Skillet Corn with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preferences, adding more salt for a savory kick or more honey for extra sweetness.
7. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the Honey Butter Skillet Corn to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the irresistible combination of sweet and savory flavors.
8. Optional Variation: For an extra indulgent twist, sprinkle the Honey Butter Skillet Corn with crumbled feta cheese or grated Parmesan cheese before serving. The creamy, tangy cheese complements the sweetness of the honey and adds a luxurious touch to the dish.
9. Enjoy!: Sit back, relax, and savor every delicious bite of this Honey Butter Skillet Corn. Whether served alongside grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a standalone side dish, it’s sure to be a hit with family and friends alike.
