Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups frozen corn kernels No need to thaw
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Adds richness and flavor
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream Can use half-and-half for a lighter finish
  • 2 tablespoons honey Balances the butter's richness
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste
  • cracked black pepper For garnish
  • fresh thyme For garnish

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely and begin to foam.
  2. Add the frozen corn in an even layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes until the corn is warmed through and some kernels show light color.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and drizzle the honey over the corn. Stir to combine, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes so the cream reduces and thickens slightly.
  4. Taste and season with salt. Remove from heat when the sauce clings to the corn.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish and finish with cracked black pepper and fresh thyme.
