Can I use frozen corn instead of fresh or canned corn?
Yes, you can use frozen corn! Just make sure to thaw and drain the corn before adding it to the skillet. You may need to cook it a bit longer to ensure it’s heated through.
What are some good sides to serve with this dish?
This dish pairs well with a variety of sides. Consider serving it with whole-grain toast, avocado slices, a fresh fruit salad, or a green salad for a complete meal.
How can I add more protein to this dish?
You can add cooked and crumbled bacon, diced ham, or even leftover chicken to boost the protein content. For a vegetarian option, consider adding a dollop of Greek yogurt or a handful of cooked quinoa.
