A Few Tips from My Kitchen
Make it spicy! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few red pepper flakes if you like a little kick with your sweetness.
More creamy goodness: If you’re a fan of extra richness, toss in another ounce of cream cheese. No one’s judging.
Fresh herbs: A sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley on top adds a pop of color and a touch of freshness.
Leftovers? This corn reheats beautifully. Just warm it up in a skillet or microwave and stir before serving — it’s still dreamy.
Why It’s a Family Favorite
This is one of those recipes that hits the sweet spot (literally and figuratively). It’s easy, fast, and picky-eater approved. Kids love it because it’s a little sweet, and adults love it because it pairs with just about anything — grilled chicken, pork chops, steak, or even a Thanksgiving turkey.
When I first made this, my husband kept saying, “Wait, what’s in this again?” He thought it was some secret family recipe I’d been holding out on him. Nope — just butter, honey, and a little cream cheese magic.
Plus, it’s a great recipe to keep in your back pocket when you need a side that looks and tastes impressive but doesn’t require an entire afternoon in the kitchen.
