Ingredients
- 12 ounces corn frozen
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add corn to a medium sized pot.
- Add all remaining ingredients.
- Heat over medium heat for about 10 minutes until all ingredients are melted and blended, and corn is hot.
Notes
- Canned Corn or Fresh Corn can be used in place of the frozen corn. If you are using fresh corn, remove corn from the ears by slicing off with a knife.
- Dried thyme can be used in place of the fresh thyme. Use ¼ teaspoon dried for each teaspoon of fresh thyme.
- Corn is a vegetable that is naturally sweet, but sometimes you may get a bag or can or even an ear that is not the super sweet corn we are looking for. When this happens, I will add a half a teaspoon of sugar or honey to the corn to bring out the missing sweetness. Use your taste after adding this to see if it's where you want it to be, and increase from there. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take away!
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. This recipe will not freeze well.
