Scale

- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or scallions (for garnish)
Instructions

Sauté the Corn:
- In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Incorporate Honey and Cream Cheese:
- Reduce the heat to medium.
- Stir in the honey and cream cheese pieces.
- Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture becomes creamy, approximately 3-5 minutes.

Season and Garnish:

Notes
- Corn Selection: Fresh corn kernels cut from the cob are ideal when in season. Otherwise, frozen corn works well; ensure it’s thawed before cooking.
- Cream Cheese: For a lighter version, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese, though the sauce may be slightly less creamy.
- Serving Suggestions: This dish complements grilled meats, roasted poultry, or can be enjoyed on its own as a vegetarian option.
