Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6-7 ears of corn)

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by carefully removing the corn kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife. You should have about 4 cups of kernels. Set aside.

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to foam slightly.

      Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the melted butter. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly golden.

        Drizzle the honey over the cooked corn and add the thyme. Stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the honey caramelize slightly.

          Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as desired.

            If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the corn just before serving and gently fold it in.

              Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley or chives for an extra touch of color.
