Side Dish Essentials: To Die for Honey/Cheesy Corn image

This stuff is really awesome. You have corn sauteed with a bit of butter and honey, then instead of using cream, we are going to use some yummy cream cheese, and add a bit salt and pepper to top it off. Six simple ingredients, and one awesome side dish. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Number Of Ingredients 7

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 tablespoon(s) sweet butter, unsalted
8 ounce(s) corn, fresh or frozen
1 tablespoon(s) fresh clover honey
1 ounce(s) cream cheese, softened
2 - 3 pinch(es) salt, kosher variety, or to taste
2 - 3 pinch(es) white pepper, freshly ground, or to taste

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • You will need a medium sized skillet to make this recipe.
  • Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 - 4 days; however, since this recipe contains cheese, I would not recommend freezing it.
  • I love the subtle heat that white pepper delivers; especially, when contrasting that heat with sweet items, like fresh clover honey. If you do not have white pepper, you can always substitute black pepper.
  • Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Add the butter to a skillet over medium heat, and heat until it stops foaming.
  • Add the corn and cook, while stirring for about 2 - 3 minutes.
  • If you are using fresh-off-the-cob corn, then add an additional 5 minutes to the cooking time.
  • Drizzle in the honey and cook for an additional 1 - 2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the softened cream cheese.
  • Cook for an addition 2 - 3 minutes, and then add some salt and white pepper, to taste.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Eat by itself, or serve as a side with your favorite meat, fish, or poultry. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
